Setting up and Installing the Interconnect Switch

Configuring the Integrated Administrator

After cabling the interconnect switch to your network, the next step is to configure the Integrated Administrator module. The Integrated Administrator module enables monitoring and managing of all functions within a server blade enclosure, as well as the ability to configure the switch modules. After the switch modules are configured, the Integrated Administrator module provides these features through both a Web-based user interface and a command line interface.

You can connect to the Integrated Administrator module command-line interface locally or remotely.

•For local, out-of-band access, connect a null-modem cable into the serial port on the back of the enclosure, and then use VT100 terminal emulation software to connect.

•For remote access, you can use a Telnet or Secure Shell session to connect to the built-in network controller.

NOTE: For complete instructions, refer to the HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide on the Documentation CD provided with your server blade enclosure.

To configure the Integrated Administrator module:

1.Using the null-modem serial cable (provided with your server blade enclosure), connect the Integrated Administrator (serial) console connector to a local client device such as a laptop computer with VT100 terminal emulation software (such as

Microsoft® Windows® HyperTerminal).

2.Open a VT100 terminal emulation session with the following settings: 9600 baud rate, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and hardware flow control disabled.

3.Log on to the Integrated Administrator using the user name and password provided on the tag attached to the interconnect tray. The tag contains a unique default password that should be changed during your first logon session.
