Configuring the chassis by using the CMM

Follow the instructions in this section to establish an Ethernet connection to the Chassis Management Module and use the CMM web interface to configure the chassis.

Note

• You must use the Chassis Management Module to establish user accounts and to configure IP addresses for the CMM and the I/O modules before you power-on the Flex System Manager management node, if one is installed.
• If you have multiple chassis on the management network, you must establish user accounts and configure the IP addresses for each chassis before you power-on the Flex System Manager management node, if one is installed.
• If the chassis does not have an Flex System Manager management node, use the Chassis Management Module web interface to complete the chassis configuration.

For more information about using the Chassis Management Module web interface to configure the chassis, see Lenovo Flex System Chassis Management Module Chassis management options.
