Connecting to the default IP address on a new BladeCenter
A newly-installed (out-of-the-box) BladeCenter unit tries to locate a DHCP server on
the network before it will default to the factory-configured static IP address in the
management module. This is the initial configuration setting. When there is no
DHCP server on the network the BladeCenter unit is connected to, it can take
several minutes before the management module uses the default (static) IP
address. When the DHCP search times out and the management module uses the
static IP address, you can change the management module configuration so that it
will not attempt to locate a DHCP server.

server until the activity lights on the drive is off, indicating that no read or write
operations are in progress. Before you remove a hot-swap blade server from
the BladeCenter unit, you must shut down the operating system and turn off the
blade server. You do not have to shut down the BladeCenter unit itself.
