Notes:

1.For best results when using the Web browser, set the monitor to 256 colors. Use only the video resolutions and refresh rates given in the following table. These are the only video resolution and refresh rate combinations that are supported for all system configurations.

Resolution	Refresh rate

640x480	60 Hz

640x480	72 Hz

640x480	75 Hz

640x480	85 Hz

800x600	60 Hz

800x600	72 Hz

800x600	75 Hz

800x600	85 Hz

1024x768	60 Hz

1024x768	75 Hz

2.The Web interface does not support the double-byte character set (DBCS) languages.

The Web-based user interface communicates with the management and configuration program that is part of the firmware that comes with the management module. You can use this program to perform tasks such as:

vDefining the login IDs and passwords

vSelecting recipients for alert notification of specific events

vMonitoring the status of the BladeCenter unit and blade servers

vControlling the BladeCenter unit and blade servers

vAccessing the I/O modules to configure them

vChanging the drive startup sequence in a blade server

vSetting the date and time

vUsing a remote console for the blade servers

vChanging ownership of the keyboard, video, and mouse

vChanging ownership of the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port. (The CD-ROM drive and diskette drive in the BladeCenter unit are viewed as USB devices by the blade server operating system.)

vActivating On Demand blade servers

Note: The IBM Director program is a system-management product that comes with the BladeCenter unit. To configure the remote alert recipients for IBM Director over LAN, the remote alert recipient must be an IBM Director-enabled server.

You also can use the management and configuration program to view some of the blade server configuration settings. See “Using the management and configuration program” on page 42 for more information.
