Initial System Configuration

NOTE:

The option to configure the enclosure using the LCD Configuration Wizard is

only available until the CMC default password is changed or when the LCD

Configuration Wizard is complete. Thereafter, use the RACADM CLI or the web-

based GUI to change the CMC settings (see "Configuring the CMC Network Settings

Using a Management Station and CLI" on page 30).

NOTE:

The serial null modem cable for the CMC is an option. You can access the

CLI using the 17th Blade feature on the embedded iKVM module. Blade number 17 is

a direct local connection to the CMC.

1 Choose a language from the options presented in the dialog box.
2 Start the LCD Configuration Wizard.
3 Configure the CMC network settings for your network environment.

NOTE:

The CMC external management network mode is set by default to

DHCP. To use a static IP address, you must change the setting using the LCD

Configuration Wizard.

Protocol (IPv4 and/or IPv6)

Network mode (DHCP or static)

Static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values (if static mode was

NOTE:

You cannot set a static IP address for the iDRAC using the LCD

Configuration Wizard. See "Configuring iDRAC Networking Using the Web-

Based Interface" on page 33.
