Note: Neither the Web interface nor the text-based interface support double-byte character set (DBCS) languages. By default, TCP/IP on the Remote Supervisor Adapter is as follows: DHCP enabled Host name set to ASMA followed by the adapter's burned-in MAC address To initially configure the adapter, you will need to know either the host name or the IP address of the adapter. Since both of these items are initially unknown, follow these steps to determine their values from the System Log: Tip: The following assumes you have a DHCP server configured. If you do not, see the instructions in 5.1.3, "Configuring a static IP address" on page 121. 1. Connect an active Ethernet connection to the Ethernet port of the adapter. 2. Power on the server. 3. From the EFI Boot Manager menu (Figure 4-1 on page 69), select Configuration/Setup. 4. Select System Event and Error Log and press Enter. 5. Scroll through the event logs until you see an entry similar to the following: ENET[1] DHCP-HstNme=450rsa,DN=itso.ral.ibm.com,IP@=9.24.104.109, GW@=9.24.104.1, NMsk=255.255.254.0,DNS1@=9.24.106.15,DNS2@=9.37.0.5 6. From this information, you can connect to the adapter via a Web browser. In our example, the URL would be: http://450rsa.itso.ral.ibm.com 7. When prompted, enter a valid user ID and password. By default, only one user ID is configured: User ID: USERID (all caps) Password: PASSW0RD (all caps and zero, not the letter O) Tip: We strongly recommend you disable this default user ID and create new more secure user IDs before you put your server into production. Access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter should be carefully restricted. 8. Once you are connected, the main menu should appear. 120 IBM ^ xSeries 450 Planning and Installation Guide

xSeries 450 Planning and Installation Guide
By default, TCP/IP on the Remote Supervisor Adapter is as follows:
±
DHCP enabled
±
Host name set to
ASMA
followed by the adapter’s burned-in MAC address
To initially configure the adapter, you will need to know either the host name or
the IP address of the adapter. Since both of these items are initially unknown,
follow these steps to determine their values from the System Log:
1.
Connect an active Ethernet connection to the Ethernet port of the adapter.
2.
Power on the server.
3.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu (Figure 4-1 on page 69), select
Configuration/Setup
.
4. Select
System Event and Error Log
and press Enter.
5.
Scroll through the event logs until you see an entry similar to the following:
ENET[1] DHCP-HstNme=450rsa,DN=itso.ral.ibm.com,IP@=9.24.104.109,
GW@=9.24.104.1, NMsk=255.255.254.0,DNS1@=9.24.106.15,DNS2@=9.37.0.5
6.
From this information, you can connect to the adapter via a Web browser. In
our example, the URL would be:
7.
When prompted, enter a valid user ID and password. By default, only one
user ID is configured:
User ID: USERID (all caps)
Password: PASSW0RD (all caps and zero, not the letter O)
8.
Once you are connected, the main menu should appear.
Note:
Neither the Web interface nor the text-based interface support
double-byte character set (DBCS) languages.
Tip:
The following assumes you have a DHCP server configured. If you do
not, see the instructions in 5.1.3, “Configuring a static IP address” on
page 121.
Tip:
We strongly recommend you disable this default user ID and create
new more secure user IDs before you put your server into production.
Access to the Remote Supervisor Adapter should be carefully restricted.
