4.7 IPMI Setup Procedure
The IMB-Q870-i2 features Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that helps
lower the overall costs of server management by enabling users to maximize IT resources,
save time and manage multiple systems. The IMB-Q870-i2 supports IPMI 2.0 through the
optional iRIS-2400 module. Follow the steps below to setup IPMI.
4.7.1 Managed System Hardware Setup
The hardware configuration of the managed system (IMB-Q870-i2) is described below.
Step 1: Install an iRIS-2400 module to the IPMI module socket (refer to Section 4.2.4).
Step 2: Make sure at least one DDR3 DIMM is installed in one of the DIMM sockets. If
multiple DIMMs are installed, all of the DIMMs must be same size, same speed
and same brand to get the best performance.
Step 3: Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector labeled LAN2_USB2
(Figure 3-28).
