How to configure the JBOD IPMI port
The JBOD chassis offers intelligent management with IPMI providing
hardware health monitoring and remote power control.
Prerequisite(s):
Your host computer must be on the same network as the JBOD IPMI
interface. If necessary, change your host IP to
192.168.1.10/24

JBODs must be monitored separate from any head unit. Like the head unit,
there is no audible alarm. You should set up alerts to notify you of any power
supply issues.

Directly connect using your host computer to the JBOD IPMI port using
an Ethernet cable.

On the host computer open a web browser to
http://192.168.1.99
, and log on with the user name ADMIN
and password ADMIN in caps.
