Chapter 1. Getting started

1.1. Overview
The Server Hardware Console (SHC) for BullSequana SH servers provides a web
based interface to manage, configure and monitor the server.

The SHC is powered by OpenBMC, an open source implementation of the

Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware stack.

Chapter 1. Getting started 1-1

 1.2. Connecting to the Server Hardware Console (SHC)
Prerequisites
