IPMI Settings

Figure 6-33shows the B050-000 IPMI settings panel. Its options will be explained below.

IPMI disabled

Disables IPMI on the B050-000. This means that Status via IPMI and Event Log via IPMI are not available and the power on/off and reset functions do not use IPMI rather than the ATX and the reset cable connected from the B050-000 to the motherboard.

IPMI over LAN

You can connect the IPMI over a LAN connection, too. 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 BMC (mostly on board). In the IPMI Settings you have to enter the IP address of this host system, the user name of a valid IPMI account and password for this account. You can also access other IPMI systems if you enter their IP address.

Date And Time

Figure 6-34. Date and Time

This link refers to a page where the internal realtime clock of the B050-000 can be set up (see Figure 6-34). You have the possibility to adjust the clock manually or to use a NTP time server. Without a time server your time setting will not be persistent, so you have to adjust it again after the B050-000 loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this you can use a NTP time server which sets up the internal clock
