Connecting to the Node Remotely For Setup
This procedure requires the following equipment:
• One RJ-45 Ethernet cable that is connected to your management LAN.
Before you begin
Note
To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same network as the system. Your
DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this compute node. The MAC
address is printed on a label that is on the pull-out asset tag. This compute node has a range of six MAC
addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of
six contiguous MAC addresses.
Step 1
Connect a power cord to each power supply in your chassis, and then connect each power cord to a grounded AC power
outlet.
Wait for approximately two minutes to let the compute node boot to standby power during the first bootup. You can
verify node power status by looking at the power status LED on the face of the node. The node is in standby power mode
when the LED is amber.
Step 2
Plug your management Ethernet cable into the dedicated management port on the face of the node.
Step 3
Allow your preconfigured DHCP server to assign an IP address to the node.
Step 4
Use the assigned IP address to access and log in to the Cisco IMC for the server node. Consult with your DHCP server
administrator to determine the IP address.
The default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.
