IPMI
The CSE-947S JBOD chassis offers intelligent management with IPMI to provide hardware
health monitoring and remote power control. To enable it, connect to the storage enclosure
using the dedicated IPMI LAN connector (Figures 1-7 and 1-8).
The default IP address configuration mode is DHCP (Dynamic Host and Configuration
Protocol). When connected to the network, you can find the IP address assigned to this system
from the DHCP server. (See Section D.5 for an additional method to identify the assigned IP
address.) You can now connect using User name ADMIN and the unique Password on the
label, whose location is shown below.
Note:
The IP configuration mode can be toggled between user mode and default static mode.
Press and hold the reset button on the rear panel for 6-8 seconds to change to static IP mode
with the default IP address as shown below. Press and hold the reset button for 6-8 seconds
to change the IP configuration mode back to DHCP.
Simple setup configuration:
IPMI default IP
: 192.168.1.99
User name
: ADMIN
Password
: unique Password
For details on configuring and using IPMI, refer to the Supermicro IPMI manual.
