Management Processor Access
NOTE This procedure for accessing the MP LAN refers to the core I/O card installed in the server.
Direct access to the MP LAN port on either core I/O card in the Server Expansion Unit is not
possible.
The following procedure allows direct access to the management processor (MP) LAN port on the core I/O card
installed in the server. You will be able to telnet directly from your laptop to the MP. Your laptop will need a
copy of the Reflection terminal emulation software already loaded. A crossover cable will be needed to connect
from the laptop LAN port directly to the MP LAN port on the core I/O card.
Setting Up the CE Tool (PC)
The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the MP in the server. The MP monitors the
activity of a one partition or a multiple partition configuration.
During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as:
• Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
• Setting LAN IP addresses
• Shutting down cell board power
Communication with the MP is established by connecting the CE Tool to the MP LAN port on the core I/O
card.
Connecting the CE Tool
To connect the CE Tool to the LAN Port:
1. Connect one end of the crossover cable to the MP LAN port on the top core I/O card.
2. Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the CE Tool LAN card adapter.
Setting CE Tool Parameters
If the CE Tool is a laptop using Reflection, verify or establish these communications settings using the
following procedure:
1. From the Reflection Main screen, click on the New... button.
2. Enter an arbitrary name in the Connection name: window.
3. Click the Save button to store the name you chose.
4. Click the Connect button.
5. In the Host/Service name: window, enter the IP address for the MP LAN port. The factory default LAN
IP address for the LAN port is 192.168.1.1
6. Click OK to connect to the MP and receive a MP login: prompt.
