Note: Make sure that you modify the IP settings on the laptop so that it is on the same network as the
server default settings.
The default IPv4 address and the IPv6 Link Local Address (LLA) is provided on the Lenovo XClarity
Controller Network Access label that is affixed to the Pull Out Information Tab.
• If no monitor is attached to the server, you can set the network connection through the Chassis
Management Module 2 management network connector.
1. Make sure that the subnet of your computer is set to the same value as the CMM 2 (the default CMM
2 subnet is 255.255.255.0). The IP address of the CMM 2 must also be in the same local domain as
the client computer. To connect to the CMM 2 for the first time, you might have to change the Internet
Protocol properties on the client computer.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your laptop to the management port on the CMM 2.
3. Open a web browser on the client computer, and direct it to the CMM 2 IP address. For the first
connection to the CMM 2, use the default IP address of the CMM 2; if a new IP address has been
assigned to the CMM 2, use that one instead.
Note: The manufacturing default static IPv4 IP address is 192.168.70.100, the default IPv4 subnet
address is 255.255.255.0, and the default host name is MMxxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the
burned-in MAC address. The MAC address is on a label on the CMM 2, below the reset button (see
CMM 2 controls and indicators for the reset button location). See IPv6 addressing for initial
connection for information about determining IPv6 addressing for the initial connection.
4. After logging in to the CMM 2, click Chassis Management ➙ Compute Nodes to set the IP address
of the compute node.
• If you are using the Lenovo XClarity Administrator Mobile app from a mobile device, you can connect to
the Lenovo XClarity Controller through the Lenovo XClarity Controller USB connector on the front of the
server. For the location of the Lenovo XClarity Controller USB connector, see the front view of the server.
Note: The Lenovo XClarity Controller USB connector mode must be set to manage the Lenovo XClarity
Controller (instead of normal USB mode). To switch from normal mode to Lenovo XClarity Controller
management mode, hold the blue ID button on the front panel for at least 3 seconds until its LED flashes
slowly (once every couple of seconds).
To connect using the Lenovo XClarity Administrator Mobile app:
1. Connect the USB cable of your mobile device to the Lenovo XClarity Administrator USB connector on
the front panel.
2. On your mobile device, enable USB tethering.
3. On your mobile device, launch the Lenovo XClarity Administrator mobile app.
4. If automatic discovery is disabled, click Discovery on the USB Discovery page to connect to the
Lenovo XClarity Controller.
