First Time Configuration Wizard
The first time configuration process is designed to:
• Establish user as root, the superuser for the CLI.
• Establish user as Admin, the superuser for the BladeManager web
interface.
• Initialize your system and user settings to ensure full connectivity and
functionality of the BladeManager.
First Time Configuration requires that you:
• Connect to a serial console
• Log in as root
Before you run First Time Configuration, check to ensure that your system is
set up properly. If you are using a PC, ensure that HyperTerminal is installed
on your Windows operating system. If you are using the UNIX operating
system, use Kermit or Minicom.
Ensure that you have a NIC card installed in your PC to provide an Ethernet
port, and allow network access.
