Accessing the ASMI by using a web browser
If your system is not managed by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can connect a PC or
notebook to the server to access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI). You need to
configure the Web browser address on the PC or notebook to match the manufacturing default address
on the server.
To set up the Web browser for direct or remote access to the ASMI, complete the following steps:
1. If the server is not powered on, perform the following steps:
a. Connect your power cord or cords to the server.
b. Plug the power cord or cords into the power source.
c. Wait for the control panel to display 01. A series of progress codes are shown before 01 appears.
Notes:
v The system is powered on if the light on the control panel is green.
v To view the control panel, press the blue switch to the left, then pull out the control panel all
the way, and then pull it down.
Important: Do not connect an Ethernet cable to either the HMC1 port or the HMC2 port until you are
directed to do so later in this procedure.
2. Select a PC or notebook that has Netscape 9.0.0.4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, Opera 9.24, or
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 to connect to your server.
Note: If the PC or notebook on which you are viewing this document does not have two Ethernet
connections, another PC or notebook needs to be connected to your server to access the ASMI.
If you do not plan to connect your server to your network, this PC or notebook is your ASMI console.
If you plan to connect your server to your network, this PC or notebook temporarily connects directly
to the server for setup purposes only. After setup, you can use any PC or notebook on your network
that is running Netscape 9.0.0.4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, Opera 9.24, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11
as your ASMI console.
Note: Complete the following steps to disable the TLS 1.0 option in Microsoft Internet Explorer to
access the ASMI using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 running on Windows XP:
a. From the Tools menu in Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Internet Options.
b. From the Internet Options window, click the Advanced tab.
c. Clear the Use TLS 1.0 check box (in the Security category) and click OK.
