2. To gain access to the Veritas Remote Management Interface for initial configuration, directly connect a RJ45 ethernet cable between the IPMI port and the ethernet port of a laptop computer.
3. Configure the network interface of the laptop computer with a static IP address in the default network segment used by IPMI.

   For example, use IP address 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0.

4. Ensure that the power cords to the appliance are connected.
