Note: Do not start the system now.
Can you access the service network?
v Yes: Go to step 17.
v No: Go to step 20 on page 106.
15. Access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
The ASMI is the interface to the service processor that is used to complete general and
administrator-level service tasks. Such tasks are reading service processor error logs, reading vital
product data, setting up the service processor, controlling the system power, and setting service
processor network ports. The ASMI can also be referred to as the service processor menus. The ASMI
can be accessed through https. Perform the following steps:
a. The control panel can be used in manual mode to display the service processor's IP addresses.
Refer to service functions to get control panel documentation in that case.
b. Connect a client with a web browser directly to the service processor network ports you
previously noted. It might be something like the following URLs:
v https://169.254.2.147
v https://169.254.3.147
Note: In some cases, the IP addresses might be different. For more information, see Function 30
(http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hb5/func30.htm).
c. If not already connected, connect all system power cables by plugging them into power outlets.
Note: Do not start the system now.
d. Log on to the ASMI with the admin User ID and admin default Password.
e. Change the admin user ID Password and the general user ID Password when prompted.
f. To configure network access, complete the following steps:
1) Click Network Configuration under the Network Services node.
2) On the right pane, configure eth0 and eth1 network interfaces, select Static for the Type of IP
Address field, and set and a Host name, an IP address, a Subnet mask.
16. Access the service processor network ports.
With the network connection now configured to use static IP address assignments, try to access the
service processor network ports.
Can you access the service network?
v Yes: Go to the next step.
v No: Go to step 21 on page 106.
17. Access the ASMI.
The ASMI is the interface to the service processor. Use the ASMI to complete general and
administrator-level service tasks. Such tasks are reading service processor error logs, reading vital
product data, setting up the service processor, and controlling the system power. The ASMI might
also be referred to as the service processor menus. To access the ASMI, see Accessing the Advanced
System Management Interface (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8ect/
pxect_accessasmi.htm). After you access the ASMI, continue with the next step.
18. Set System Enclosure Type and Feature Code.
The enclosure serial number is a seven-digit number that is printed on a bar-coded label on the
system unit. When the system backplane is replaced, the seven-digit enclosure serial number and
feature code number must be manually inputted and stored in the new system backplane by using
the ASMI. If you did not record the serial number and feature code number by using ASMI before
removing the system backplane, obtain the serial number and feature code number from the label on
the system unit. The label is on the chassis behind the front bezel or on the top cover of the system
unit.
