Note that the selected baud rate should match the host computer’s setting. Problems

with the BMC password (as well as any other error information) will be recorded in

the SV1115IPEXT’s system log on the Status page of the Web interface. If the host

computer’s BIOS setup allows for multiple levels of security for the BMC, ensure the

password you enter on the menu offers sufficient authority to control chassis power

and monitor fan status.
Once you have made the necessary changes on this screen, click Commit to activate

IPMI with the settings you entered. Note that clicking Commit will cause any active

VNC sessions to fail and you will need to re-establish them.

Accessing the Status Screen

The SV1115IPEXT allows you to monitor the status of the host computer via IPMI using

either the Web interface or the VNC client. The information you will be able to view

using the status screen will depend on the model of host computer being managed.

Since IPMI implementations vary widely across manufacturers, the information you are

able to see on your status screen may differ from the examples. Note that the Status

screen will not allow you to make any configuration changes and is for monitoring

purposes only.
To access the Status (IPMI Sensor Report) screen (shown above):
From the Web interface: Click View IPMI sensor report next to the thumbnail image on

the Home screen.
From the VNC interface: Click IPMI from the Bribar at the bottom of the VNC window.
