Accessing the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)  

1. Make sure the serial cable is connected to the serial connector marked "SERIAL A" on the rear panel of the system.
2. Configure your terminal emulator accordingly (settings are listed in Comparison of Hardware Management Interfaces) and connect to the system.
3. To move to BMC from EFI, press the Esc key followed by the left parenthesis character [(] (Shift/9), and then press Return. If AC power is connected to the system, this command activates the BMC command line interface even if the system power is off.
4. If prompted, enter the user or admin password at the login prompt. If no password has been defined, you are not prompted for the password.

5. Use BMC commands at the cli> prompt, as described in your hardware documentation. For help information about BMC commands, enter h at the cli> prompt.
6. When you are finished using BMC, you can log out of BMC in one of two ways:
   • Log out of BMC and return to the system console (EFI) by pressing the Esc key followed by the BMC Q command:

     cli> [ESC] Q

     
     
   
   
   
   • Log out of BMC without returning to the system console (EFI) by using the BMC Q command. This assumes you have a system password set. When you enter the Q command, the login prompt appears, as shown in the following example:

     cli> Q
      
     login>
