Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot to standby power during the first bootup. You can verify system
power status by looking at the system Power Status LED on the front panel. The system is in standby power mode when
the LED is amber.
Step 2

Step 3
Allow your preconfigured DHCP server to assign an IP address to the server node.
Step 4
Use the assigned IP address to access and log in to the Cisco IMC for the server node. Consult with your DHCP server
administrator to determine the IP address.
The default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.
Note
The first time that you enter the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility, you are prompted to change the default
password. The default password is password. The Strong Password feature is enabled.
To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same network as the system. Your
DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this server node. The MAC address
is printed on a label that is on the pull-out asset tag on the front panel. This server node has a range of six
MAC addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the
range of six contiguous MAC addresses.
