- Set up a DHCP server if it does not currently exist in the Network.
- Connect a RJ-45 cable into the IPMI port.
- Open the new assigned IP address through a web browser. The default username and password is ADMIN/ADMIN.
- Go to Configuration > Network > LAN Interface, and change the setting from Failover to Dedicate.
