b. You can obtain the DHCP-assigned IP address or the static IP address fromthe server UEFI or from your network administrator.The Login page is displayed.2. Type the user name and password. If you are using the IMM for the first time,you can obtain the user name and password from your system administrator. Alllogin attempts are documented in the event log. A welcome page opens in thebrowser.Note: The IMM is set initially with a user name of USERID and password ofPASSW0RD (passw0rd with a zero, not the letter O). You have read/writeaccess. For enhanced security, change this default password during the initialconfiguration.3. On the Welcome page, type a timeout value (in minutes) in the field that isprovided. The IMM will log you off the Web interface if your browser is inactivefor the number of minutes that you entered for the timeout value.4. Click Continue to start the session. The browser opens the System Statuspage, which displays the server status and the server health summary.Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllerThe Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interfacefor connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provides full-duplex(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data onthe network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, thecontroller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automaticallyoperates 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. Tofind updated information about configuring the controllers, go tohttp://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.Note: The integrated Ethernet controllers on the system board do not support IntelI/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT).Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated codeupdates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of codeis supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.Enabling and configuring Serial over LAN (SOL)Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remotelocation. You can remotely view and change the BIOS settings, restart the server,identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standard Telnetclient application can access the SOL connection.To enable and configure the server for SOL, you must update and configure theUEFI code; update and configure the integrated management module (IMM)firmware; update and configure the Ethernet controller firmware; and enable theoperating system for an SOL connection.Chapter 3.
