TOPIC: Connecting to the Blade via Serial-Over-LAN (SOL)



  1. Log into the Advanced Management Module (AMM) by opening a web browser and navigating to the IP address of the AMM.
  2. Log in by entering the username and password. If not changed, the default username is USERID and default password is PASSW0RD. Note that 0 is the number zero, not the letter O.
  3. From the left-hand panel click "Power/Restart" under "Blade Tasks."
  4. From the right-hand window select the check box next to the QS2x you wish to restart. Below that, click "Power On."
  5. Open a terminal Window and type:
    telnet {IP address or FQDN of Management Module }” [ENTER]
  6. Enter your username and password
  7. You should now have a “system>” prompt
  8. Type:
    console -T system:blade[X]
    Where “X” is the number of the slot of the blade you want to connect to, if a blade occupies more then one slot use the slot with the lowest number.
  9. Reboot the blade via the AMM. Repeatedly press "s" as the blade is powering on; this prevents the QS2x from performing a net boot.
