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 88 System x3655 Type 7985: User's Guide
