Connecting a remote console to the management module for
the first time
The following sections describe how to connect a remote console to the
management module to perform initial configuration of the BladeCenter unit.
The management module has the following default settings:
v IP address: 192.168.70.125
v Subnet: 255.255.255.0
v User ID: USERID (all capital letters)
v Password: PASSW0RD (note the number zero, not the letter O, in
PASSW0RD)
By default, the management module is configured to respond to DHCP first
before using its static IP address.
The client computer that you connect to the management module must be
configured to operate on the same subnet as the management module. The IP
address of the management module must also be in the same local domain as
the client computer. To connect to the management module for the first time,
you must change the Internet protocol properties on the client computer.
There are two interfaces that you can use to connect to the management
module for the first time. If you are connecting to the management module
through an Ethernet connection, you can open a Web browser and use the Web
interface, or you can use Telnet to connect to the management module and use
the CLI to configure the module. If you are connecting through a serial
connection, you can use a terminal emulator to access the CLI.
Ethernet connection (Web interface)
After you connect the Ethernet cable from the management module to the
client computer, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the subnet of the client computer is set to the same value as
the default management-module subnet (255.255.255.0).
2. Open a Web browser on the client computer, and direct it to the default
management-module IP address (192.168.70.125).
3. Enter the default user name, USERID, and the default password,
PASSW0RD (note the number zero, not the letter O, in PASSW0RD), to start
the remote session.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure that you set the timeout
value that you want for your Web session.
After you connect the client computer to the management module for the first
time, perform initial configuration of the BladeCenter unit. See the
management-module User's Guide for configuration instructions.
