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.
Complete the following steps to connect the Lenovo XClarity Controller to the network using the Lenovo
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.
Enable System Management Module network connection via Lenovo
XClarity Controller
If no KVM breakout module is available to access Lenovo XClarity Controller logs with, enable System
Management Module network connection via XCC first. For more information, see "Web interface access" in
System Management Module User's Guide.
Configure ESXi
After powering on the server, the initial ESXi interface is displayed so that you can begin to configure ESXi.
Complete the following steps to configure ESXi:
1. Set the root password for ESXi.
2. Configure ESXi networking (port groups, VMKernel, and vSwitch settings).
3. Enable services, such as vMotion and failover policies.
