System Management Interface by using a web browser if you need to

a connection.
Accessing the ASMI by using a web browser
If your system is not managed by a Hardware Management
Console (HMC), you can connect a PC or notebook to the server to access
the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI). You need to configure
the Web browser address on the PC or notebook to match the manufacturing
default address on the server.
Setting the IP address on your PC or notebook
To access the ASMI through a web browser, you first need
to set the IP address on a PC or notebook. The following procedures
describe setting the IP address on a PC or notebook running the Linux operating system and the Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, and Vista operating systems.
Correcting an IP address
If you attach an Ethernet cable to the service processor
before the system reaches power off standby, the IP address shown
in the service processor network configuration table might not be
valid.
