Obtaining a DHCP IP address from the BIOS Setup Utility
By default, LO100 has DHCP enabled and automatically negotiates an IP address. To view the
DHCP IP address, run the BIOS Setup Utility or retrieve the DHCP IP address using CLP through the
serial port connection. To view the DHCP IP address using the BIOS Setup Utility:
1.
Power on the server by pressing the Power On/Off button on the front panel.
2.
When POST displays the message, ROM-Based Setup, press the F10 key. If the server has
an administrator password configured, the system prompts you to enter the password. If the
server does not have a password configured, the main screen of the BIOS Setup Utility appears.

Using the DNS naming feature
The DNS naming feature enables you to reference the server name assigned to the server without
having to know the server IP address or obtaining the IP address for a given server. This ability to
reference the server name occurs after the server has registered its name with the DNS, using the
default naming sequence assigned by LO100, LO100 - {Server Serial Number}. (For
example, LO100 - CNQ123456.)
NOTE:
This requires DHCP and will not work with static IP addresses.
To obtain the serial number, look at the pull-out tab usually located in the front panel of the server.
You can change the server name through the Network Settings page of the LO100 web interface.
You can also change the server name through the telnet interface.
To do this, type the following in the telnet interface:
cd map1/nic1
