Connecting the SV1115IPEXT for IPMI Control
You can use either serial port on the SV1115IPEXT to send IPMI access; your choice will
determine 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 SV1115IPEXT.
Configuring IPMI on the SV1115IPEXT
Once you have connected the IPMI-configured serial port to the SV1115IPEXT and
enabled the software option, you can begin to configure IPMI settings through the Web
interface. Log in to the Web interface as admin. Click the Admin/Setup link at the top of
the page and choose IPMI/IPMB setup (Intelligent Platform Management).
