4. Hardware Installation
1. Plug the AC adapter into an AC power socket, and connect its jack to the system’s power socket. If the system is
not powered on, you will need to startup the IPMI service first.
2. To start the IPMI service separately without powering on the system, connect the console cable to the system’s
console port.
3. Start the IPMI service as described in the following section.
4. When the booting process finishes, you could access the IPMI web interface through the IPMI port.
5. Open the browser and type in the default login username and password.
5. Connecting IPMI via Console Port
In case when you want to start the IPMI service alone without powering on the system, you can use the console port.
The console port’s configuration is as follows:
Baud rate: 38400
Data bit: 8
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Flow control: hardware
Username: sysadmin
Password: superuser
When the console port is connected, the terminal will display the message to ask you to press the ESC key within 5
seconds to bypass the system startup and enter the IPMI U-Boot Command Line Interface. You should do so
accordingly if you want to start the IPMI service manually before the console being redirected to be used for the
overall system .
After entering the U-Boot menu, type bootfmh to start up the IPMI service. You may also config the Ethernet
information of the LAN port for IPMI service with the ifconfig command. The original Ethernet configuration is as
follows:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:0B:22:06:9A
