Activating the IPMI Option

A system without the IPMI option enabled

The SV1110IPEXT contains the necessary software to use IPMI.  To enable this
capability, you must purchase the software option from StarTech.com unless you have
purchased a model with the feature pre-enabled.  To verify whether the IPMI feature is
enabled on your unit, login to the Web interface as 

Admin

, click the 

Setup/Admin

button at the top of the page, and click 

Firmware and flash memory management

.  If

IPMI

 is not listed beside 

Software Options

 (see above) then the IPMI option is not

present and you will have to purchase the software option to use the feature.

management

 page.  Once the order is processed, the technician will provide you with an
