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.
If a cable is attached and not connected to anything, nothing
happens. The address could potentially change if an Ethernet cable
that is attached to a network is connected to that port and the system
is turned on. If you are unable to access the ASMI by using a network
connection, you must perform one of the following tasks:
- Attach an ASCII terminal to the service processor by using a serial
cable. For details, see Cabling the server with an ASCII terminal.
- Determine the current IP address. For more information about determining
the current service processor IP address, see Function
30: Service processor IP address and port location .
- Move the reset toggle switches on the service processor from their
current position to the opposite position. To complete this task,
you must remove and replace the service processor. For details, contact
your next level of support.
