hehe, you could always try to **** about with SoL... But that may be disabled by default too...Soooo, basically I can't connect to the server until I connect a monitor and access the BIOS first?
If so, I like the SM approach of default to handing out a DHCP address and just scan for it. Literally rack and connect.
Now I have to go find a spare monitor and keyboard/mouse to string up.
I honestly hadn't paid much attention to the BMC defaults, if there is no DHCP on any of the NICs for BMC... I thought it defaulted to DHCP, but at least one of the s2600CP's that I received from natex had the NICs disabled in the bios. I think they (the nics) were enabled out of the box on the S2600GL tho...
