Figure 37 IPMI Settings

IPMI disabled - Disables IPMI. Status via IPMI and Event Log via IPMI are not available and the power on/off and reset functions won't use IPMI.

BMC address - Hexadecimal Baseboard Management Controller address. Needed for all types of communication to the IPMI-interface. Usually you can find this address in the BIOS of the host system. The default and common value is 20.

IPMI over Serial - If your host system supports IPMI V1.5 and has an Intel EMP (Emergency Management Port, usually COM2) connector, you can connect IPMI through serial port 1 on DX User IP. Please note:

∙Set the EMP port to Always enable and switch off the Restricted Mode.

∙The BMC should accept a null username and a non-null password account as login.

∙Passwords are 4 -16 characters long.

∙Use a null modem cable for connection

IPMI over LAN - You can connect the IPMI over a LAN connection. You need a host system with IPMI V1.5 and a network adapter with a sideband connection to the BMC (mostly on board). In the IPMI Settings, enter the IP-address of this host system and the correct password for the LAN connection.

You can also access other IPMI systems when you enter their IP address.
