The RIPM IPMI facilities provide an additional way to power the system on or
off or to perform a hard reset. Furthermore, these facilities allow you to view
an event log of the host system and the status of some system sensors (e.g.,
temperature). If your host system supports IPMI, you can access it in one of the
following ways:
• IPMI over LAN (IPMI v1.5 is required)
• IPMI Settings
The figure above shows the RIPM IPMI settings panel. Its options will be
explained below.
1. IPMI Disabled
Disables IPMI on the RIPM. This means that Status via IPMI and Event Log
via IPMI are not available; the power on/off and reset functions do not use
IPMI rather than the ATX (Advanced Technology Extended), and the reset
cable is connected from the RIPM to the motherboard.
2. IPMI over LAN
You can also connect the IPMI over a LAN connection. The prerequisite for
this access type is a host system with IPMI v1.5 and a network adapter with
a side-band connection to the baseboard management controller (BMC)
(mostly on board). In the IPMI settings, you must enter the IP address of this
host system and the correct password for the LAN connection. You can also
access other IPMI systems by entering their respective IP addresses.
