The RIPM IPMI facilities provide an additional way to power the system on or off or to perform a hard reset. Furthermore, these facilities allow you to view an event log of the host system and the status of some system sensors (e.g., temperature). If your host system supports IPMI, you can access it in one of the following ways:

•IPMI over LAN (IPMI v1.5 is required)

•IPMI Settings

The figure above shows the RIPM IPMI settings panel. Its options will be explained below.

1.IPMI Disabled

Disables IPMI on the RIPM. This means that Status via IPMI and Event Log via IPMI are not available; the power on/off and reset functions do not use IPMI rather than the ATX (Advanced Technology Extended), and the reset cable is connected from the RIPM to the motherboard.

2.IPMI over LAN

You can also connect the IPMI over a LAN connection. The prerequisite for this access type is a host system with IPMI v1.5 and a network adapter with a side-band connection to the baseboard management controller (BMC) (mostly on board). In the IPMI settings, you must enter the IP address of this host system and the correct password for the LAN connection. You can also access other IPMI systems by entering their respective IP addresses.
