Use the following commands in CLI mode: - identify Control the system-locator LED on the front of the server. - power Turn the server on and off remotely. - sel Perform operations with the BMC system event log. - sysinfo Display general system information that is related to the server and the baseboard management controller. v Serial over LAN Use the Serial over LAN capability to remotely perform control and management functions over a Serial over LAN (SOL) network. You can also use SOL to remotely view and change the server BIOS settings. At a command prompt, type telnet localhost 623 to access the SOL network. Type help at the smbridge> prompt for more information. Use the following commands in an SOL session: - connect Connect to the LAN. Type connect -ip ip_address -u username -p password. - identify Control the system-locator LED on the front of the server. - power Turn the server on and off remotely. - reboot Force the server to restart. - sel get Display the BMC system event log. - sol Configure the SOL function. - sysinfo Display system information that is related to the server and the globally unique identifier (GUID). 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 110 System x3650 Type 7979: User's Guide

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,
