Connect your server to a PC or notebook to interface with
the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
The Web interface to the ASMI is available during all phases of
system operation including the initial program load (IPL) and run
time.
Accessing the ASMI using a PC or notebook and 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 your PC or notebook. The following procedures
describe setting the IP address on PC and notebooks running the Microsoft® Windows® XP, 2000, and Vista, and Linux® operating systems.
