Use the following commands in CLI mode:– identifyControl the system-locator LED on the front of the server.– powerTurn the server on and off remotely.– selPerform operations with the BMC system event log.– sysinfoDisplay general system information that is related to the server and thebaseboard management controller.v Serial over LANUse the Serial over LAN capability to remotely perform control and managementfunctions over a Serial over LAN (SOL) network. You can also use SOL toremotely view and change the server BIOS settings.At a command prompt, type telnet localhost 623 to access the SOL network.Type help at the smbridge> prompt for more information.Use the following commands in an SOL session:– connectConnect to the LAN. Type connect -ip ip_address -u username -ppassword.– identifyControl the system-locator LED on the front of the server.– powerTurn the server on and off remotely.– rebootForce the server to restart.– sel getDisplay the BMC system event log.– solConfigure the SOL function.– sysinfoDisplay system information that is related to the server and the globallyunique identifier (GUID).Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllersThe Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide aninterface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and providefull-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and receptionof data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation,the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network andautomatically operate at that rate and mode.You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you mustinstall a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. Fordevice drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the110 System x3650 Type 7979: User’s Guide
