To ensure the modular server system is functioning properly, it is recommended that you review the current health status for installed components and verify all required actions are completed. The Dashboard provides an easy-to-use interface to quickly view all required actions, health status for all installed components, and information on all recent critical events. From the Dashboard, you can select any required action, component, or event to get detailed information. For more information, see "Dashboard" on page 111. Setting Up a Remote Connection The modular server system is intended to be managed over a secure, private management network. It is recommended that the Intel® Management Module not be connected to a publicly accessible network. The two recommended options for connecting a client system to the Intel® Management Module in order to launch the Intel® Modular Server Control UI are illustrated below. Before connecting the remote system, ensure all hardware components (servers, hard drives, switch modules, storage control modules, the management module, cooling modules, and power modules) are installed in the Intel® Modular Server System. Option 1: Connect the client system and the Intel® Management Module to an external switch using two Ethernet cables, as illustrated in the following image. Switch AF002069 Figure 41. Connection using a switch Option 2: Connect the client system directly to the Intel® Management Module using a cross-over cable, as illustrated in the following image.
