OpenManage Switch Administrator: where is?

Hi all

I need to configure the PowerConnect 5316M switch embedded in the Blade chassis PE 1855.

Unfortunately the previous administrators have lost the CD pack, so I need the OpenManage Switch Administrator tool. 

Do you know where I can download it? is it included into the OpenManage Server administrator pack?

Thanks in advance to all

You could just telnet/ssh to the chassis then issue the command "connect switch-1" and you can configure it via command line.  Then repeat for switch-2....that is what I do for my 5316s.

Thanks I already did it, but as I'm a beginner in managing switches, the web-interface is a bit more user-friendly for me.

Anyhow, after having configured the basic parameters in the mode you also suggested (usernames, IP, gateway and HTTP), I just connected my notebook to one of the switch's ethernet ports, and launched the browser to http://192.168.0.100 (the IP I have configured in CLI mode) and.... OpenManage Switch administrator application answered :-) !! Basically it is an application embedded into the switch... Not very clear from the documentation...

Thanks again for your help
