• Configure common settings, such as: - View and modify the IP address assigned to the management module. - Configure alert notification destinations and policies - Manage Intel® Modular Server Control user accounts - Update system firmware System Configuration Requirements This section provides an overview of the modular server system configuration requirements. Specifically, you must complete each of the following requirements: • Update System Firmware (recommended): Prior to configuring the modular server system, it is recommended that you update the system firmware to the latest release. For more information regarding the firmware update process, see "Steps to Update the System Firmware" on page 147. • Install physical hard drives (required): Physical hard drives must be present in the modular server system before you can configure the modular server system storage. • Configure Storage (required): Configuring storage includes grouping installed physical hard drives into storage pools, creating virtual drives, and assigning the virtual drives to one or more compute modules. Storage configuration also includes creating and assigning hot spares to storage pools. For more information, see "Storage Configuration" on page 84. • Install at least one Intel® Compute Module MFS5000SI/MFS5520VI (required): When configuring storage, a compute module does not need to be present in the system. Virtual drives can be assigned to a compute module slot/bay in the chassis regardless of whether or not a compute module is present. However, in order to install an operating system, you must first insert a compute module into the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35. • Modify the Intel® Modular Server Control UI Administrator account password (recommended): For security reasons, it is recommended that you change the default administrator password once the system is configured. For more informatin, see "User Accounts" on page 139. • Modify the external IP address for the Intel® Management Module (required): This is the IP Address used to access the Intel® Modular Server Control UI. Before installing the modular server system on a network, change the external IP address and hostname as needed. You will need to change the management module default static IP address if more than one Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35 is present on the network, or if the default management module IP address cannot be accessed in the installed network environment.
