Chapter 1

Introduction

The MicroBlade Web-based Management Utility is a web-based interface that
consolidates and simplifies system management for Supermicro MicroBlade systems.
The MicroBlade Web-based Management Utility aggregates and displays data from the
SIMCM (the IPMI card designed for Supermicro’s MicroBlade Chassis Management
Module).

The MicroBlade Web-based Management Utility provides the following key
management features:

• Enables IT administrators to view in-depth hardware configuration and status
information using a single intuitive interface.

• Provides an OS-independent, remote graphical console.

• Allows remote users to map local media (floppy, CD-ROM, removable disks and
hard drives) or ISO images on a shared network drive to a blade server.

Supported Browsers

The following browsers have been tested for use with the MicroBlade Web-based
Management Utility. It is recommended that you use the most current revision of the
browser you choose. The minimum browser revisions supported by the MicroBlade
Web-based Management Utility are shown below:

• Internet Explorer 7

• Firefox 2.0.0.7

• Netscape 9.03b

• Google Chrome

1-1 Network Connection/Login

To log into the MicroBlade Web-based Management Utility:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of the browser, enter the IP address that you assigned to the
MicroBlade Chassis Management Module (CMM) and hit the <E

3. When the browser makes contact with MicroBlade Chassis Management Module,
enter your username and password, then click L
