# Lenovo XCC

> Enable IPMI-over-LAN on the Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC / XCC2) so ipmideck can connect to your ThinkSystem server.

**Applies to:** Lenovo ThinkSystem servers with XClarity Controller (XCC) and XCC2.

<Note>
  Lenovo XCC is an **Experimental** vendor for ipmideck, these steps are from official Lenovo
  documentation and a real XCC (ThinkSystem SR630 V2). IPMI-over-LAN is **disabled by
  default** on XCC for security, and Lenovo recommends disabling it again when it is not in
  use.
</Note>

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the XCC web interface">
    In a browser, navigate to the XCC IP address and log in. The default credentials are
    **USERID** / **PASSW0RD** (note the **zero** in "PASSW0RD"). Change them immediately
    if they are still in use.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify connectivity">
    From the host that will run ipmideck:

    ```bash theme={null}
    ipmitool -I lanplus -H <xcc-ip> -U USERID -P <password> chassis status
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Flag for review:** XCC2 (the newer generation) uses the same path but with a redesigned
  web interface. Verify the navigation against your actual hardware.
