18 About Your System
Non-Central Consolidated Mode
There are two setup options available for this mode, you can use the server
enclosure’s Ethernet connector or BMC management port to connect to an
Ethernet switch.
To setup BMC connection using the server enclosure’s Ethernet connector:
NOTE: Do not connect the server enclosure’s front Ethernet connector and back
BMC management port to the same Ethernet switch.
1 Before you setup BMC, you must first connect the BMC management
cable in the sled. See "Installing the BMC Management Cable" on
page 196.
2 Remove the port cover by using a small flat blade screwdriver and pry the
port cover off of the server enclosure’s front Ethernet connector. Save the
port cover for future use. See Figure 1-5.
3 Connect one end of the network cable to an available port on the Ethernet
switch and connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet
connector located on the front of the server enclosure.
NOTE: Make sure to install the port cover in the sled’s BMC management port.
See Figure 1-5.
