CTIVATING THE
IPMI O
PTION
The Serial Access Unit (KV9-SRL) contains the necessary software to use IPMI with
the ServSwitch.
You can use either serial port on the ServSwitch to send IPMI access; your choice
will dictate the cable type you will use to make the connection. The DTE serial port
on the front panel requires a null-modem serial cable.
Connect a serial cable’s female end to the serial port that’s configured for IPMI
access on the host computer. Connect the opposite end to the ServSwitch unit’s
DTE serial port.
