To log onto the Web interface to use the remote presence functions, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Open a Web browser on a computer that connects to the server and in the Address or URL field,
type the IP address or host name of the IMM to which you want to connect.
Note: The IMM defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP host is not available, the IMM assigns a static IP
address of 192.168.70.125.
Step 2.
On the Login page, type the user name and password. If you are using the IMM for the first time,
you can obtain the user name and password from your system administrator. All login attempts are
documented in the event log.
Note: The IMM is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (passw0rd
with a zero, not the letter O). You have read/write access. You must change the default password
the first time you log on.
Step 3.
On the Welcome page, type a timeout value (in minutes) in the field that is provided. The IMM will
log you off of the Web interface if your browser is inactive for the number of minutes that you
entered for the timeout value.
Step 4.
Click Continue to start the session. The System Health page provides a quick view of the system
status.

Using the embedded hypervisor

The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor is available on server models that come with an installed USB
embedded hypervisor flash device.
The USB flash device comes installed in the USB connector on the SAS/SATA RAID riser card (see the
following illustration). Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a
host system at the same time. The USB flash device is required to activate the hypervisor functions.
