Set the network connection for the Lenovo XClarity Controller

Before you can access the Lenovo XClarity Controller over your network, you need to specify how Lenovo
XClarity Controller will connect to the network. Depending on how the network connection is implemented,
you might need to specify a static IP address as well.
The procedure for setting the network connection will depend on whether or not you have a video connection
to the server.
• If a monitor is attached to the server, you can use Lenovo XClarity Controller to set the network
connection.
• If no monitor attached to the server, you can set the network connection through the Lenovo XClarity
Controller interface. Connect an Ethernet cable from your laptop to Lenovo XClarity Controller connector
on the server.
Note: Make sure that you modify the IP settings on the laptop so that it is on the same network as the
server default settings.
The default IPv4 address and the IPv6 Link Local Address (LLA) is provided on the Lenovo XClarity
Controller Network Access label that is affixed to the Pull Out Information Tab.
Important: The Lenovo XClarity Controller is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of
PASSW0RD (with a zero, not the letter O). This default user setting has Supervisor access. Change this user
name and password during your initial configuration for enhanced security.
You can use the Lenovo XClarity Administrator Mobile app to connect to the Lenovo XClarity Controller
interface and configure the network address. For additional information about the Mobile app, see the
following site:

XClarity Provisioning Manager.
Step 1. Start the server.
Step 2. When you see <F1> Setup, press F1.
Step 3. Specify how the Lenovo XClarity Controller will connect to the network.
• If you choose a static IP connection, make sure that you specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address that is
available on the network.
• If you choose a DHCP connection, make sure that the MAC address for the server has been
configured in the DHCP server.
Step 4. Click OK to continue starting the server.
