Connecting the SV1110IPEXT for IPMI Control
Front Panel (DTE Serial Port)
Rear Panel (DCE Serial Port)
You can use either serial port on the SV1110IPEXT to send IPMI access; your choice
will dictate the type of cable you will use to make the connection. The
DTE Serial
port
on the front panel requires the use of a null modem serial cable. The
DCE Serial
port on
the rear panel requires the use of a straight through serial cable.
Connect a female end of a serial cable to the serial port that is configured for IPMI access
on the host computer. Connect the opposite end (male if connecting to the
DCE Serial
port, female if connecting to the
DTE Serial
port) to the SV1110IPEXT.
Configuring IPMI on the SV1110IPEXT
Once you have connected the IPMI-configured serial port to the SV1110IPEXT and
enabled the software option, you can begin to configure IPMI settings through the Web
