Chapter 2 Starting Up the Xserve 13
Conguring the Lights-Out Management Port
When you use the Server Monitor application to start up, shut down, or monitor an
Xserve, you communicate with the lights-out management processor in the Xserve.
Either of the two built-in Ethernet connectors on the Xserve can function as both a
lights-out management port and a server Ethernet port. The lights-out management
port has its own administrator user name, password, and network settings. There are
several ways to change these settings:
Step through the networking panes of the Mac OS X Server setup assistant Â
In Server Monitor, choose Server > Congure Local Machine Â
Use the  ipmitool command-line tool in Terminal
When you use Server Monitor to connect to an Xserve, you specify the IP address and
user account for the lights-out management port.
Local and Remote Software Setup
If you connect a display and keyboard to the Xserve, you can use them to nish the
server software setup process locally.
To set up the Xserve without a display or keyboard, you can use one of the following
methods to connect to the Xserve and set it up remotely.
