Figure 33 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 Smart 16 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.
