Setting up and accessing the ASMI

Depending on your configuration, you can access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) through a Web browser, an ASCII terminal, or the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

If your system is managed by an HMC, you can access the ASMI through the HMC.

If your system is not managed by an HMC you must connect the server to a terminal or PC and apply power. You can power the system on and off using the power button on the control panel (operator panel) or the ASMI.
