Microsoft Windows:



Internet Explorer 6 or later



Mozilla

Firefox

NOTE: Before using the web user interface, ensure that the firewall settings are

configured to enable access to the following ports: 7578 (KVM),USB-CDROM:

Enter the BMC-embedded server IP address or URL into the address bar of the

web browser. The BMC interface has a default of (DHCP\Static). Enter the

system BIOS setup with <F2> to change these settings.

When connecting to the BMC, the login screen prompts for the username and

password. This authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection

prevents unauthorized intruders from gaining access to the BMC web server.

Once authentication is passed, you can manage the server by privilege. At the

same time, the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) records all user information,

including user ID and privilege.
