Problem setting up my new Intel Xserve

[Pete Fuller]

On the new intel xserves, there is the Lights out management feature (LOM)
that has to be configured before server admin will work remotely. Search on
the apple.com support area for "xserve LOM" and you'll get the documents.
The jist is that the xserve will actually have a second IP on the same
physical card that is used only for the LOM.  You have to configure it
through server admin on the server itself, or when you first install the
xserve.
That being said, I haven't gotten it to work correctly for myself either.
Seems to be a little finicky.  Haven't really sat down to try to fix it.
Maybe tomorrow.
