using a Web browser. See 5.1.4, "Connecting via the ASM interconnect" on page 124. However, if another Remote Supervisor Adapter is not available, or close enough to be connected via the ASM interconnect, then the next easiest way is to use the EFI-based flash/configuration utility FLASH2.EFI. Download this utility as part of the latest x450 Remote Supervisor Adapter firmware update from: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support Once you have downloaded it, you will need to copy it to a USB memory key or a CD-R, or copy it directly to the EFI system partition. (For Windows, see "Accessing EFI System Partition from Windows" on page 96. For Linux, see "Partitions on IA-64 Linux" on page 111.) Only the FLASH2.EFI file is needed to configure the adapter. To configure a static IP address using FLASH2, perform the following steps: 1. Boot the x450 into the EFI shell. 2. Place the flash2 application on media that can be read by the x450. This could be a CD, memory key, or the application can be copied to a partition on a hard disk drive (assuming a partition has been created). 3. From the EFI shell prompt, navigate to where you have placed the flash2 application (enter fs2: or fs3:, for example, to select the file system that has been mapped to the system partition). 4. Enter the command flash2 and press Enter. 5. Select Configuration Settings. 6. Select Ethernet Settings. The Ethernet Settings window opens, as shown in Figure 5-3 on page 123. 122 IBM ^ xSeries 450 Planning and Installation Guide

page 124.
However, if another Remote Supervisor Adapter is not available, or close enough
to be connected via the ASM interconnect, then the next easiest way is to use the
EFI-based flash/configuration utility FLASH2.EFI.
Download this utility as part of the latest x450 Remote Supervisor Adapter
firmware update from:
Once you have downloaded it, you will need to copy it to a USB memory key or a
CD-R, or copy it directly to the EFI system partition. (For Windows, see
“Accessing EFI System Partition from Windows” on page 96. For Linux, see
“Partitions on IA-64 Linux” on page 111.) Only the FLASH2.EFI file is needed to
configure the adapter.
To configure a static IP address using FLASH2, perform the following steps:
1.
Boot the x450 into the EFI shell.
2.
Place the flash2 application on media that can be read by the x450. This
could be a CD, memory key, or the application can be copied to a partition on
a hard disk drive (assuming a partition has been created).
3.
From the EFI shell prompt, navigate to where you have placed the flash2
application (enter
fs2:
or
fs3:
, for example, to select the file system that has
been mapped to the system partition).
4.
Enter the command
flash2
and press Enter.
5. Select
Configuration Settings
.
6. Select
Ethernet Settings
. The Ethernet Settings window opens, as shown in
Figure 5-3 on page 123.
