Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to set the ILOM IP address. You can configure
the IP address manually (static) or use DHCP to configure it.
1. Verify the following:
■ Your DHCP server is configured to accept new media access control (MAC)
addresses.
■ Your DHCP server is connected to either the corresponding NEM port or the
RJ-45 NET MGT Ethernet port.
2. Start the BIOS Setup Utility.
a. Boot the system.
b. Watch the boot messages. You will see a message that says you can press F2
to enter BIOS setup.
