Several minutes are several minutes. Certainly not 60 minutes.

Do you have a network and a second computer? If so, I would start the TalosII with the second computer via ssh and see if I can connect at all.

Follow the guide ...

Maybe the power button on the computer case is broken?

Hi MPC7500,

beautiful to read you,

I have spent a night with the BMC blinking, the led still blinked in the morning.
well, the green light blinks for several minutes then One of the blinks is a fraction of a second longer and then the normal blinking follows, again and again.. .the power button is a simple one, I have bought several of them and this one was used and working on (another, old) PCboard. 
"Several minutes are several minutes. Certainly not 60 minutes." ...cheering witin,


I have been attempting to follow the Talos II quick starter guide,
unfortunate: I have to get to the BMC first, that is how I find my BMC kind of never loads entirely.

The manual does not really help with this, the manual states how evrything works in the ideal world.

"How do I ssh into this never started talos II board without a BMC?"  the dhcp-server seems to require a bmc, or power on to begin.. 

I believe I am a newbie, well with Talos II quite some must be,
yet do Raptor think that would be a less traumatic thought than a hardware problem..  ?

MPC7500:
When your mainboard has power, the BMC is running. On the second computer open a Terminal and type:

--- Code: ---ssh root@<IP address of BMC>
--- End code ---

When you are in
To poweron the Talos, type:

--- Code: ---obmcutil poweron
--- End code ---

Hi MPC7500,

Is bmc ssh without dhcp IP setting truely possible / is there a factory bmc IP?

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.10 port 22: Network is unreacheable

1) I found this bmc IP adress from a talos ii guide,
https://github.com/edowson/raptor-talos-ii-power9-technote/blob/master/ubuntu/ubuntu-18.04-install-power9-raptor-talos-ii.md
yet I have no idea what the IP could be, I humbly believe because..

2) ... the absence of bmc IP seems to follow from the manual, namely, dhcp server 'must assign IP to bmc'...

Certain operations require BMC access to execute. The T2P9D01 BMC is attached to network port 1 via NCSI,
and is configured to request an IP address via DHCP. Once it is connected and has a valid IP address, you can
log in via SSH using the following default credentials:
Username: root
Password: 0penBmc
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you change this default password immediately after login via the
passwd command on the BMC.

3) so I installed, I hope correctly, a dhcp to the second pc under debian.
yet for a process, more so than the solution You seemed to offer, this dhcp IP setting is a tedious and hazaduous challenge that I will do, just last.

Have an awesome day MPC7500!!!
Erwan.
