You can use the RMM via BIOS to manage a hardware appliance. The RMM enables you to configure the network settings and protocols.
Make sure that the server board has the latest BIOS firmware. Trellix publishes BIOS images for the appliance that contain the BMC firmware. Contact Technical Support for the latest version of the firmware. Downloading and using the system firmware from other sources might impact the appliance performance.
You can enable or configure RMM from the text menu system, appliance console, serial console, or SSH session.
Note
In an uninstalled appliance, you can configure the RMM settings from BIOS using the root account. In an installed appliance, you can configure the RMM settings from the appliance console without entering the BIOS.
Log on to the appliance as administrator.
From the appliance console menu, select Reboot to restart the system.
