Correcting an IP address

If you attach an Ethernet cable to the service processor before the system reaches power off standby, the
IP address shown in the service processor network configuration table might not be valid.
If a cable is attached and not connected to anything, nothing happens. The address could potentially
change if an Ethernet cable that is attached to a network is connected to that port and the system is
turned on. If you are unable to access the ASMI by using a network connection, you must perform one of
the following tasks:
v Attach an ASCII terminal to the service processor by using a serial cable. For details, see "Cabling the
server with an ASCII terminal" on page 15.
v Determine the current IP address. For more information about determining the current service
processor IP address, see Function 30: Service processor IP address and port location
