Configuring the LAN controller

Before you can establish connection to the ASMB3-SOL PLUS board, you must

configure the LAN port for server management used by the remote server to

connect to the local/central server.
To configure the LAN port of the remote server:
1. On the prompt, type asmc2 -init_asmb, then press . The screen

displays the auto-detected information including the system/motherboard

name, and the IPMI2.0 interface. The screen also shows the status of the

ASMB3-SOL PLUS.

c:\dos>asmc2 -init_asmb

Detect System

-> DSBF-D/SAS

Detect Motherboard -> (DSBF-D/SAS)

Detect KCS Interface

Initial BMC O.K.

2. Shut down the remote server, then disconnect the power plug from the

electrical socket to initialize the ASMB3-SOL PLUS.

When finished, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.

c:\dos>asmc2 -bmc_ip 10.10.10.20

Detect System

-> DSBF-D/SAS

Detect Motherboard -> (DSBF-D/SAS)

Detect KCS Interface

New BMC IP : 10.10.10.20

Make sure that the assigned IP address for both remote and local/central

servers are in the same subnet. You can use the network settings utility in your

OS to check.

3. Restart the remote server from the support CD.
4. Run the ASMC2 utility from the support CD following the instructions in the

previous section.

5. Set IP source.

(a) Type asmc2 -bmc_ip_source 1 if you want to set a static IP address.
(b) Type asmc2 -bmc_ip_source 2 if you want to get IP from DHCP server.

6. Type asmc2 -bmc_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, then press to assign any IP

address to the remote server LAN port (if necessary). The screen displays the

request and response buffer. Write the remote server IP address in a piece of

paper for reference.
