Set up the CMC IP Address

The X10G chassis includes a small, built-in LCD screen at the lower left front.

With the chassis power on, pull out the LCD screen and use it to:

1.	set your language preference

2.	specify one IP address: the address for the Chassis Management Controller (CMC)

Setting the CMC IP address enables you to communicate with the controller through a browser, from which you can quickly set remote access (iDRAC) addresses for the blades. The following illustration shows the built-in LCD screen and its associated keypad.

 

Use the silver arrow pad to the right of the LCD screen to move to a selection. Press the center of the silver pad when you are ready to confirm your choice.

After you choose a language, you are ready to configure the CMC.
