Checking the Server

Procedure

1. Check indicator status.

   Ensure that hardware devices are working correctly.

   For details, see Front Panel Indicators and Buttons and Rear Panel Indicators (Full Configuration of NPUs).

2. Check the server.
   • Check the server using the iBMC WebUI.
     1. Log in to the iBMC WebUI. For details, see Logging In to the iBMC WebUI.

        You are advised to change the default password when logging in to the iBMC for the first time. For details, see Changing Initial Passwords.

     2. Choose iBMC Settings > Firmware Upgrade, and view the version information, as shown in Figure 5-38.

        Check that the server versions meet site requirements.

        Figure 5-38 Querying version information
        
     3. The server health status is displayed on the menu bar, as shown in Figure 5-39.

        No.	Health Status	Description
        1	Health indicator status	Displays the number of critical, major, and minor alarms.
        2	Power status	Displays server power status. You can click on the right of the indicator to power on or off the server.
        3	UID indicator status	Pinpoints the location of the server in a chassis. You can click on the right of the indicator to control the state of the UID indicator.

     4. Clear any alarms if present. For details, see Atlas 800 AI Training Server iBMC (V3.01.00.00 or Later) Alarm Handling (Model 9010).
   • Check the server using the iBMC CLI.
     1. Set an IP address for the PC. This IP address must be on the same network segment as the iBMC management network port.
     2. Connect a network cable from the PC to the iBMC management network port of the server.
     3. Start a Secure Shell (SSH, PuTTY), tool on the PC and log in with the IP address of the iBMC management network port and iBMC user name and password.

        The SSH service is enabled by default. If the SSH service is disabled, enable it by choosing Services > Port Services on the iBMC WebUI.

     4. Run the ipmcget -d version command to query the server version information. Ensure that the versions meet the site requirements.
