1. Review the installation worksheet filled by the customer to ensure that the following details are
provided:
• Canister 1 (left)
– Management interface IP and netmask
– BMC interface IP and netmasks
– VLAN tag
• Canister 2 (right)
– Management interface IP and netmask
– BMC interface IP and netmasks
– VLAN tag
• Inputs that are required for POWER9 EMS are:
– EMS management IP (C11-T1)
– FSP/BMC IP (C11-T2)
– HMC1 interface
Note: If there are more than one IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 being deployed, the customer
needs to provide Canister management and BMC interface IP addresses for each additional unit (as
well as potentially the VLAN tag).
2. Perform the following steps to configure ESS 3200 canister 1 (left):
a. Connect the laptop to the SSR access port of the canister 1 (left) by using a Serial cable. The
following figure shows the Serial port connection.

Figure 50. SSR access port/mini USB
If the USB-A port is not found on your laptop, plug in the USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect the
serial cable to the laptop.
b. Turn on the laptop and select the OS that you want to boot.
• If you are using Linux/Mac OS, open the terminal and open a screen session to the USB port
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200.
Note: Here, ACM0 is the USB port. If there are multiple ports available, you might need to
change the USB port to ACM1, depending on which port the cable is inserted. You can also use
minicom to connect as an alternative.
• If you are using Windows OS, open Device Manager to check the port assignment.
c. Open PuTTY tool version 0.74 or higher and set the target address as shown in the following
figure. You get a login window.
