to all who may be remember me (it is already around 16 years as

I have bought that machine for computer simulations in physics,
not having before experience with similar ones. <br>
<br>
The first start and installing mint there went easy. My guess is
that I shut it down improperly (I do not remember details). <br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>This is more of a question for a full fledged admin but AFAIK:</p>
<ul>
<li>I suspect this is an HP machine. Do search exactly for the
manual of that machine. HP has a number of iterations (GenX
e.g. Gen10) so you need the exact manual to find the battery
location</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Did not I specify exact model?<br>
</p>
<p>I think there is no need to reset the BIOS if you did not change
the iLO password<br>

<li>plug a monitor - there should be a video/VGA port on the

Now, it is my guess, the machine is in standby mode (when power
is connected). The unfortunate thing is that I did not do any
initial BIOS configuration and I did not care to write down iLO
IP address. <br>
<br>
The lights on both power suppliers are off. The light on the
front is amber. Two lights near iLO cable are green, one solid,
the second is blinking, suggesting that iLO works properly. <br>
<br>
By reading the internet and documentation I found out that
sometime people have similar problems. What is advised is
resetting the beast to factory setting. That apparently can be
done by 3 methods: 1) with some magic of removing/swapping power
suppliers, 2) by changing S6 to ON on system maintenance switch
and 3) by removing CMOS battery. <br>
<br>
I did try the methods 1) and 2). In case of method 3) - I do not
know how to remove battery. It does not look the same as it is
drawn in the original technical documentation. <br>
<br>
Now, I thought I will try to use iLO. First, I need its IP
address. Yes, I know basics of using ping, nmap, etc. However, I
have at home a simple Huawey router. It allows to have netmask
of the type 255.255.255.0, only, hence scanning the entire
possible IP range is in practice, impossible. <br>
<br>
It happened that that I discovered an option on my desktop
computer to configure the network connection as "shared to other
computers". Hence, connected to cable directly to iLO and found
out that my IP is now 10.42.0.1. Does that mean that this is IP
of iLO? That would be a something, however, the problem does not
end there. <br>
<br>
How to connect to iLO anyway? My Huawey router does not allow me
to change a configuraion in such a way that 10.42.0.1 could be
an address of a connected device: it wants 10.42.0.1 to be the
gateway address. <br>
<br>
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. <br>
