2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. (This prompt is displayed on the screen for only
a few seconds. You must press F1 quickly.) If you have set both a power-on password and an
administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Setup utility
menu.
3. From the Setup utility main menu, select System Settings.
4. On the next screen, select Integrated Management Module.
5. On the next screen, select Network Configuration.
6. Find the IP address and write it down.
7. Exit from the Setup utility.

Logging on to the Web interface

To log on to the Web interface to use the remote presence functions, complete the following steps:
1. Open a Web browser 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.
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 a the letter O). You have read/write access. You must change the default password
the first time you log on.
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.
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.
