b. From the Internet Options window, click the Advanced tab.
c. Clear the Use TLS 1.0 check box (in the Security category) and click OK.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or notebook to the Ethernet port labeled HMC1 on the back of
the managed system. If HMC1 is occupied, connect an Ethernet cable from the PC or notebook to the
Ethernet port labeled HMC2 on the back of the managed system.
Important: If you attach an Ethernet cable to the service processor before the system reaches power
off standby, the IP address shown in the Service processor network configuration table might not be
valid. For details, see “Correcting an IP address” on page 32.
4. Use Table 8 to help you determine and record the information needed in order to set the IP address
on the service processor on the PC or notebook. The Ethernet interface on the PC or notebook needs
to be configured within the same subnet mask as the service processor so that they can communicate
with each other. For example, if you connected your PC or notebook to HMC1, the IP address for
your PC or notebook could be 169.254.2.140 and the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. Set the
gateway IP address to the same IP address as the PC or notebook

5. Set the IP address on your PC or notebook using the values from the table. For details, see “Setting
the IP address on your PC or notebook.”
6. To access the ASMI using a Web browser, perform the following steps:
a. Use Table 8 to determine the IP address of the service processor Ethernet port that your PC or
notebook is connected to.
b. Type the IP address in the Address field on the Web browser of your PC or notebook and press
Enter. For example, if you connected your PC or notebook to HMC1, type https://169.254.2.147
in the Web browser on your PC or notebook.
Note: It might take up to 2 minutes for the ASMI login display to be shown in the Web browser after
the Ethernet cable is plugged into the service processor in step 3. During this time, if you use control
panel function 30 to view the IP addresses on the service processor, incomplete or inaccurate data is
shown.
7. When the Login display appears, enter admin for the user ID and password.
8. Change the default password when prompted.
9. Choose from the following options:
v If you do not plan to connect your PC or notebook to your network, this ends this procedure. You
can now perform tasks such as changing the time of day or changing the altitude setting.
v If you plan to connect your PC or notebook to your network, see Accessing the ASMI without an
HMC (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/iphby/
connect_asmi.htm).
Setting the IP address on your PC or notebook
To access the ASMI through a Web browser, you first need to set the IP address on a PC or notebook. The
following procedures describe setting the IP address on a PC or notebook running the Linux operating
system and the Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, and Vista operating systems.
