7.3.2 Accessing ASMI using a Web browser

The following instructions apply to systems that are disconnected from a
Hardware Management Console (in most cases because of an error), or if you
have the need to change the network configuration in the service processor and
the HMC is unavailable. This is normally a serious condition left to trained service
engineers.
If you are managing the server using an HMC, access the ASMI using the HMC.
Complete the following tasks to set up the Web browser for direct or remote
access to the ASMI.
Connect the power cord from the server to a power source, and wait for the
STBY LED (on the Bulk Power Controller) to be on solid.
Select a PC or mobile computer that has Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0,
Netscape 7.1, or Opera 7.23 to connect to your server. If you do not plan to
connect your server to your network, this PC or mobile computer will be your
ASMI console. If you plan to connect your server to your network, this PC or
mobile computer will be temporarily connected directly to the server for setup
purposes only. After setup, you can use any PC or mobile computer on your
network that is running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 7.1, or Opera
7.23 as your ASMI console.
Determine the IP address of the Ethernet port that your PC or mobile computer is
connected to, and enter the IP address in the address field of the Web browser.
For example, if you connected your PC or mobile computer to Port A, enter the
following in your Web browsers address field:
