12. Connecting the IPMI option
IPMI Version 1.5 defines a serial connection to access certain system parameters
and to perform actions like switching off the system or performing a hard reset.
Connect a Serial cable to a Serial port on the host computer and the Serial 1 or 2 port
on the IP Extender.
For further information about IMPI 1.5, see
http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm
To use the IPMI over a serial interface enable it in the host computer. This is done
using BIOS settings or special utilities provided by the server manufacturer. Refer to
the server manufacturer's manual site.
Note! IPMI V1.5 is only supported by server systems manufactured in 2002
onwards.
