Activating the IPMI Option

A system without the IPMI option enabled

The SVx41HDI 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.

To purchase the IPMI option, contact StarTech.com Technical Support:

Have your model and serial number on hand.  When asked, supply the technician with the code
listed under 

Purchase Options

 at the bottom of the

page.  Once the order is processed, the technician will provide you with an Unlock code.  Enter
that code in the space provided, and click

configuration.
