IBM xSeries 130 Appliance Server Quick Setup Guide
The IBMxSeries 130 appliance server is a modular, single-use server with preinstalled
operating system and application software. This appliance is designed to mount easily in a rack and is
ready for use with minimal installation and setup procedures.
Note: For additional information, see the IBM xSeries 130 Appliance Server User's Reference and IBM
xSeries 130 Appliance Server Installation Guide, which are included on the IBM xSeries 130 Appliance
Server Documentation CD.
Use these instructions to:
Install your appliance server in a rack
Connect your appliance server to an existing network
Connect the server to a workstation on your network to manage your appliance remotely
Note: You must have MicrosoftInternet Explorer 5.0 or later installed on the workstation.
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. When
installing your server in a rack, consider the following:
Ensure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F)
Do not block any air vents; typically 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow
Install your server in a rack with perforated doors
Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack
Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack
Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation
Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets
Take precautions to prevent overloading the power outlets when you install multiple devices in a rack
Use safe practices when lifting.

Installing your IBM xSeries 130 appliance server in the rack
You will need the following items to complete the server installation:
Flat-blade screwdriver
Phillips screwdriver
Mounting brackets and hardware
Cage nuts or clip nuts

Insert the bracket tab through the center hole
between the two clip nuts on the rear rail.
(The right and left rails are labeled.)

Loosely install two mounting screws through
the back end of the bracket. Position the
mounting bracket so that it lines up with the
clip nuts. Install the remaining mounting
screws, then tighten all the screws with a
screwdriver. Repeat these steps for each
mounting bracket.

If you want to ship your rack with the server
installed, you must install the shipping
brackets on each side of the server. To do
this, insert the shipping bracket tab into the
slot on the back of the server. Then, use the
blue thumb screw to secure the back of the
server and the shipping bracket to the
mounting bracket.

Connect the power cord; then, connect
Ethernet cables to the management adapter
as follows:
Connect Ethernet port 1 on the appliance
server to an active Ethernet port on your
network. Make sure that this port is on
the same subnet as the workstation you
will use to remotely manage the appliance
server.
Connect Ethernet port 2 to an active
Ethernet port on your network that is
connected to the Internet.
Note: Ethernet port 1 is for managing the
appliance server. Ethernet port 2 is for
serving Internet content.

You can manage your server remotely from another computer on the network or locally with a
keyboard, monitor, and mouse or other pointing device connected to your server. If you
manage your server locally, you must use the C2T device breakout cable. Connect the large
connector on the C2T cable to the rear of your server; then, connect your keyboard, mouse, and
monitor to the connectors on the other end of the C2T cable.
Note: The keyboard and mouse connectors on the C2T cable have keyboard and mouse icons
to differentiate them from each other. The monitor connector is the dark blue connector.
10 Repeat step 1 through step 9 for each server that you install in the rack.
–For information about using your appliance server configuration program, see the Installation
Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
–For more information about input output (I/O) ports and cabling your server, see the User's
Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Turning the server on and off
Turning on the server refers to the act of plugging the power cord of your server into the power source
and starting the operating system. Turning off the server refers to the act of disconnecting the server from
the power source.
To turn on the server:
1. Plug the power cord of your server into the power source.
Note: Plugging the power cord into a power source might cause the server to start automatically.
This is an acceptable action.
2. Wait 30 seconds; then, press the power-control button on the front of the server.
To turn off the server :
1. Refer to your operating system documentation for the proper procedure to shut down the operating
system.
Note: Each operating system is different. Some allow an immediate shutdown; others require an
orderly shutdown procedure.
Statement 5
CAUTION:
The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not
turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than
one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power
cords are disconnected from the power source.

Setting up your IBM xSeries 130 appliance server
Remote management of your IBM xSeries 130 appliance server using Universal Manageability Services
(UMS) requires that the serial number of the server that you want to manage and a workstation that has
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later installed on the same subnet as the IBM xSeries 130 appliance
server. You also can manage the IBM xSeries 130 appliance server using the IBM Advanced Appliance
Configuration Utility, which is included on the Supplementary CD. The IBM Advanced Appliance
Configuration Utility offers a quick and easy method for configuring and managing IBM appliances and for
managing multi-appliance application programs. For additional appliance setup instructions, see the IBM
xSeries 130 appliance server Installation Guide or User's Reference.
To set up your IBM xSeries 130 appliance server, do the following:
1. Turn on your IBM xSeries 130 appliance server and wait five to ten minutes.
2. From your workstation, open Internet Explorer and connect to http://ibm-xxxxxxx:1411, where
"xxxxxxx" is the serial number of your IBM xSeries 130 appliance server. A user login window
appears.
3. Type administrator in the User Name field and password in the Password field. You can leave the
Domain field blank.
4. Make sure that the Save this password in the password list check box is cleared; then click OK.
The UMS Management window appears.
5. Click the Terminal Services tab.
6. In the Terminal Services window, type ibm-xxxxxxx in the Server field and press Enter. Terminal
Services opens and prompts you to log in.
7. Type administrator in the User name field.
8. Type password in the Password field.
9. Leave the Domain field blank. Make sure that the Save this password in your password list check
box is cleared; then click OK.
Notes:
a. The first time you connect to the appliance server, you might be prompted to install XML and
Swing components. If you are, follow the on-screen instructions to install these components; then,
close and restart Internet Explorer before you proceed.
b. The IBM xSeries 130 appliance server is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) by default. Therefore, if you have a DHCP server configured in your network, the initial
Internet protocol (IP) information for the appliance is provided by that server. If your network is
not running DHCP, the default IP address on the appliance is 169.254.x.x (where "x" is a random
number from 1 to 254), subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
10. Refer to the IBM xSeries 130 Installation Guide for more information about configuring and operating
your appliance server.
