After the required hardware has been installed in your BladeCenter, you should update the
Management Module using IBM eServer BladeCenter - Management Module Firmware
Update Version 1.10 or later. Go to the following Web sites to acquire the firmware:

6.1.2 Management Module network interface
In this section, we configure the Management Module external and internal network interfaces
to exist upon the management subnet. The external network interface IP address is attached
to the network outside of the BladeCenter. This is the address used to contact the
Management Module from an external device.
