You will be presented with the
IPMI Status
menu (see above). Make the following
changes to enable IPMI:
•
Enable IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface via serial port:
select
Enabled.
•
Select which serial port to use:
select either
Front serial port (DTE pin

or
Rear serial port (DCE pin out)
based on how the SV1110IPEXT is
connected to the IPMI serial port on the host computer.
•
Select baud rate to use:
select a value from the menu between
9600 bps
and
115,200 bps
based on the configuration on the host computer’s IPMI settings.
•
BMC Password:
Enter the password twice assigned to the BMC in the host
computer’s BIOS setup software.
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
SV1110IPEXT’s system log on the
Status

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.
