When DHCP is enabled, a device’s IP address may or may not be fixed. When the address is not fixed, anyone wanting to access the OnBoard appliance must find out the currently-assigned IP address each time. If DHCP is enabled and you do not know how to find out the current IP address of the OnBoard appliance, contact your system administrator for help.
For accessing the Web Manager, you can use any type of workstation that has access to the network where the OnBoard service processor manager is installed and any browser (such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Netscape 6.0 or above, Mozilla or Firefox) with a Java 2 plug-in.
