Removing Power from the System
Before performing most setup or maintenance tasks, use the following procedure to ensure
that power has been removed from the system.
1. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the power cord
and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply. If your system has dual power
supplies, remove the cords from both power supplies.
2. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.

IPMI
The SC946L JBOD chassis offers intelligent management with IPMI to provide hardware
health monitoring and remote power control. To enable, connect to the storage enclosure
using the dedicated IPMI LAN connector (Figure 1-3).
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 DHCP server. You can now connect using the User name and Password as shown below.
Note:
The IP configuration mode can be toggled between DHCP and Static IP. Press and
hold the reset button on the front 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 10-12 seconds to
change the IP configuration mode back to DHCP.
Simple setup configuration:
IPMI default IP
: 192.168.1.99
User name

For details on configuring and using IPMI, refer to the Supermicro IPMI manual.
