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.
15. 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 20 on page 54.
16. 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.
17. 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.
Note: The feature code number for 8247-42L, 8286-41A, or 8286-42A system backplane is 78C9-001.
Note: To complete these steps, your authority level must be Authorized Service Provider (ID:
celogin).
To enter the enclosure serial number and feature code, complete the following steps:
a. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log in.
b. In the navigation area, expand System Configuration > Program Vital Product Data.
c. Select System Enclosures. In the right pane, the current system enclosures are displayed.
d. On the system that is being serviced, record the enclosure serial number and feature code that is
printed on the bar-coded label on the system unit.
e. Enter the last seven characters of the enclosure serial number in the Enclosure serial number
field.
f. Enter the feature code number, including the dash (-), in the Feature Code/Sequence Number
field.
g. Click Save settings to update and save the enclosure serial number and the feature code.
18. Go to step 22 on page 54.
19. Enable network access to the service processor when a management console is not being used.
If the network connection uses DHCP to establish an IP address, but does not use a management
console as the DHCP server, complete the following steps:
a. Complete any network configuration necessary to allow the DHCP server to recognize and assign
an IP address to the service processor.
b. Ensure that the service processor is connected to the existing service network by verifying that
the network cable is connected to the network port.
