Note: The IMM is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (passw0rd
with a zero, not a 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.

Enabling the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program

The Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the server firmware. You can use it to configure the
network as a startable device, and you can customize where the network startup option appears in the
startup sequence. Enable and disable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program from the Setup utility.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting
to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support
auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and
duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to
enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device drivers and information about configuring
the Ethernet controllers, see the Intel Hartwell 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the
server. To find updated information about configuring the controllers, complete the following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly
from what is described in this document.
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.
2. Enter your product number (machine type and model number) or select Servers and Storage from
the Select your product list.
3. From Family list, select ThinkServer TS200, and click Continue.

Enabling and configuring Serial over LAN (SOL)

Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote location. You can remotely
view and change the BIOS settings, restart the server, identify the server, and perform other management
functions. Any standard Telnet client application can access the SOL connection.
To enable and configure the server for SOL, you must update and configure the UEFI code; update and
configure the integrated management module (IMM) firmware; update and configure the Ethernet controller
firmware; and enable the operating system for an SOL connection.

UEFI update and configuration

To update and configure the UEFI code to enable SOL, complete the following steps:
1. Update the UEFI code:
a. Download the latest version of the UEFI code from http://www.lenovo.com/support.
b. Update the UEFI code, following the instructions that come with the update file that you downloaded.
2. Update the IMM firmware:
