Disk Control Menu
Aside from status information, there are only three buttons in this window. Insert and
Eject will simulate that action, and only one option is enabled at any time, based on
the current state of the emulated disk. USB Replug can be used to force the host to
recognize the disk. It is not needed unless the host OS or hardware does not recognize
it automatically.
Using the IPMI Feature
Background
To offer a more complete remote server control solution, the SV1115IPEXT offers a
power management feature that allows remote hardware restarts and the ability
to power the host computer on and off. You may be able to take advantage of this
feature if the host computer you are managing supports IPMI (Intelligent Platform
Management Interface).
Host Computer Requirements
The host computer must support the IPMI standard version 1.5 to use this option. Most
popular server motherboards now support the IPMI standard. To determine if your
computer supports this IPMI, consult its documentation for more information.
