30 Installing and Setting Up the CMC
Checklist for Integration of a Chassis
The following steps enable you to setup the chassis accurately:
1
Your CMC and the management station where you use your browser must
be on the same network, which is called the management network. Cable
the CMC Ethernet port labelled
GB to management network.
NOTE: Do not place a cable in the CMC Ethernet port labelled STK. For more
information to cable the STK port, see "Understanding the Redundant CMC
Environment" on page 53.
2 For rack chassis, install the IO modules in the chassis and cable them.
3 Insert the servers in the chassis.
4 Connect the chassis to the power source.
5 Push the Power button provided at the side of the chassis or, power on the
chassis from the CMC GUI after completing step 7.
NOTE: Do not power on the servers.
6 Using the LCD panel on the front of the system, provide the CMC with a
static IP address or configure it for DHCP.
7 Connect to the CMC IP address through the web browser using the
default username(root) and password(calvin).
8 Provide each iDRAC with an IP address in the CMC GUI and enable the
LAN and IPMI interface.
NOTE: iDRAC LAN interface on some servers are disabled by default
9 Provide each IO module with an IP address in the CMC GUI.
10 Connect to each iDRAC through the web browser and provide final
configuration of iDRAC. Default username is root and password is calvin.
11 Connect to each IO module through the web browser and provide final
configuration of the IO module.
12 Power on the servers and install the operating system.
Basic CMC Network Connection
For the highest degree of redundancy, connect each CMC to your
management network. If a chassis has just one CMC, make one connection
on the management network. If the chassis has a redundant CMC, make two
connections to the management network.
