Tip: Changes that affect the operation of the MAGNUM Server or admin level actions
will cause an authentication prompt to be displayed.
To login to the MAGNUM Server Configuration Shell, the user will have to enter the following information
at the login screen. The login screen is accessed by hitting “ctrl+alt+F2” to switch terminals. At the login
prompt use the following default credentials.
Figure 8-1 displays the main setup menu. Section 8.1 to Error! Reference source not found. will guide
you through the process of setting up your server and identifying the function of each configuration tool.
You will use the arrow keys, tab, and enter keys to navigate through the MAGNUM Server Configuration
Shell.
The serial heartbeat requires server hardware with a serial port, by default /dev/ttyS0.
10. APPENDIX
10.1. FAQ
If the Magnum installer screen is not viewable, switch to other terminals back and forth. For
example, [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F2] will switch to the command line, and [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F1] will switch back
to the installer screen.
After a clean shutdown from the USB stick, the USB stick must be physically removed from the
server, then re-inserted, before the BIOS recognizes it as a potential boot device again.
Removing the USB stick during installation, before the server is completely powered off, can
corrupt the USB stick and prevent future installations from succeeding when using the same USB
stick. If this occurs, recreate the Magnum Live Installation USB stick.
To create the Magnum Live Installation USB stick, use LinuxLive USB Creator (version 2.8.18 or
greater) available from http://www.linuxliveusb.com.
10.2. IPMI
10.2.1. IPMI Remote Access
1. Reboot the server by pressing the Reset Button (if the server is not rebooting already).
2. Press <DELETE> repeatedly while the BIOS displays the SuperMicro logo in Figure 10-1.
5. Set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address to ensure the PC can reach the server.
Never change the MAC Address.
8. Plug an Ethernet cable into the IPMI Ethernet port highlighted in Figure 10-4.
9. Plug in all power cables and the server should power on automatically.
10. On the PC, point a web browser to the server’s IPMI IP Address.
13. Navigate to Miscellaneous > UID Control. Select TURN ON. Click Save then click OK.
14. The leftmost UID LED under the power buttons should be blinking Blue.
16. Reboot the server by pressing the Reset Button. Press <DELETE> repeatedly while the BIOS
displays the SuperMicro logo.
17. Navigate to Advanced > IPMI Configuration > Set LAN Configuration. Set the IP Address to
000.000.000.000 to prevent IP conflicts.
