2. On the Login page, type the user name and password. If you are using the IMM

for the first time, you can obtain the user name and password from your system
administrator. All login attempts are documented in the event log.

Note: The IMM is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of
PASSW0RD (passw0rd with a zero, not a the letter O). You have read/write
access. You must change the default password the first time you log on.

3. On the Welcome page, type a timeout value (in minutes) in the field that is

provided. The IMM will log you off of the Web interface if your browser is
inactive for the number of minutes that you entered for the timeout value.

4. Click Continue to start the session. The System Health page provides a quick

view of the system status.

Advanced Settings Utility program

The Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program is an alternative to the Setup Utility
for modifying UEFI settings. Use the ASU program online or out-of-band to modify
UEFI settings from the command line without the need to restart the server to
access the Setup Utility.

You can also use the ASU program to configure the optional remote presence
features or other IMM settings. The remote presence features provide enhanced
systems-management capabilities.

In addition, the ASU program provides limited settings for configuring the IPMI
function in the IMM through the command-line interface.

Use the command-line interface to issue setup commands. You can save any of the
settings as a file and run the file as a script. The ASU program supports scripting
environments through a batch-processing mode.

Installing ThinkServer EasyManage software

You can install the ThinkServer EasyManage Core Server program from the

Core Server has been installed, you can use the ThinkServer EasyManage Agent
installer to install the agent on other servers and clients on the network.

Also, the ThinkServer EasyStartup

program provides an option to either install the

ThinkServer EasyManage Agent as part of the operating system installation process
or install a desktop icon to assist with the installation of the ThinkServer
EasyManage Core Server after the operating system has been installed.
