Non-Central Consolidated Mode

To setup BMC connection using non-central consolidated mode:
1 Before you setup BMC, you must first connect the BMC management
cable in the sled. See "Installing the BMC Management Cable" on
page 245.
2 Remove the port covers by using a small flat blade screwdriver and pry the
port covers off of the server enclosure's front Ethernet connector and back
BMC management port. Save the port covers for future use. See
Figure 1-6.
3 Connect one end of the network cable to an available port on the Ethernet
switch.
4 Connect the other end of the network cable to the BMC management port
located on the back of the server enclosure.
5 Connect one end of the network cable to an available port on the Ethernet
switch.
6 Connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet connector
located on the front of the server enclosure.
NOTE:
Make sure to install the port cover in the sled's BMC management port. See
