Installing and Setting Up CMC

This section provides information about how to install your CMC hardware, establish access to CMC, configure your
management environment to use CMC, and guides you through the next steps for configuring the CMC:
• Set up initial access to CMC.
• Access CMC through a network.
• Add and configure CMC users.
• Update CMC firmware.
For more information about installing and setting up redundant CMC environments, see
Environment.

Before You Begin

Before setting up your CMC environment, download the latest version of CMC firmware from the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com.
Also, make sure that you have the
your system.

Installing CMC Hardware

CMC is pre-installed on your chassis and hence no installation is required. You can install a second CMC to run as a
standby to the active CMC.

Checklist To Set up Chassis

The following steps enable you to setup the chassis accurately:
1. CMC and the management station where you use your browser must be on the same network, which is called the
management network. Connect an Ethernet network cable from CMC port labelled GB to the management network.
NOTE: Do not place a cable in CMC Ethernet port labelled STK. For more information to cable the STK port,
see Understanding Redundant CMC
2. Install the IO modules in the chassis and cable them.
3. Insert the servers in the chassis.
4. Connect the chassis to the power source.
5. Push the power button at the lower left corner of the chassis or power on the chassis from the CMC Web interface
after completing step 7.
NOTE: Do not power on the servers.
6. Using the LCD panel on the front of the system, provide CMC with a static IP address or configure it for DHCP.
7. Connect to the CMC IP address through the Web browser using the default username (root) and password (calvin).
