If DHCP is not used to set the Embedded Switch Module IP address, you will need an unused IP
address and a corresponding subnet mask and gateway address. DHCP-enabled is the default.
If the PRIMERGY BX900 Management Blade GUI or CLI management is not used to change the
Embedded Switch Module IP address, you will need a management workstation (computer)
that has a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal) or a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM)
device. You will also need a serial cable to connect the workstation to the Embedded Switch
Module serial console port.
