In order to enable DASH support on HP platforms the following steps must be performed: 1. Ensure you have the latest system BIOS and software drivers for your platforms. 2. Set a BIOS administrator password to authorize access to configuration option. 3. Select and enable the appropriate management controller within the system BIOS. 4. Select the appropriate management mode for the controller (in this case DASH) within the system BIOS. 5. Enable management functions from the network device 6. Add user accounts to access the management interface on the network device. The following sections discuss the steps to enable DASH functionality from a remote management standpoint without requiring physical access to the system; however it is possible to setup and configure DASH support manually. For instructions on how to complete this process using where you have local physical access to the system to be configured, please refer to Appendix B: Enabling Management Functionality with Computer Setup and Appendix C: Enabling Management Functionality with BMCC and BACS later in this document.
