About this product

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to connection and management information for IP KVM-IC2300 through IPMI service.

Intended audience

This document is for individuals who configure and manage IP KVM-IC2300.

How to use this document

Use this guide to install or configure the IPMI service on the server system.

Safety information

WARNING: The following information lists the safety reminders for installation and maintenance personnel.

Read all instructions before attempting to unpack, install, operate, or connect power to this product. Please remember the following when you unpack and install this equipment:

Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after the installation. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chassis.

Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.

Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power cord before installing or removing a chassis or working near power supplies

Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.

Operating Safety

Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Be sure that the room in which you choose to operate your system has adequate air circulation.

Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.

ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD –prevention procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid these problems.

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

EMC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Version 1.0

Class A Notice for FCC

Introduction

1. About the IP KVM-IC2300

The IP KVM-IC2300 contains a powerful software stack combining the functionality of a Service Processor and of a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The software implements IPMI 2.0 and KVM/IP based on the service processor. It performs all the BMC management tasks defined by IPMI 2.0, which acts as a service processor, allows for video redirection and remote monitoring using KVM over LAN. For remote access, it runs an embedded web-server to provide a web management interface. It also runs a remote desktop service for direct access to the system’s desktop. The following section provides a list of software capabilities.

Version 1.0

4.Hardware Installation

1.Plug the AC adapter into an AC power socket, and connect its jack to the system’s power socket. If the system is not powered on, you will need to startup the IPMI service first.

2.To start the IPMI service separately without powering on the system, connect the console cable to the system’s console port.

3.Start the IPMI service as described in the following section.

4.When the booting process finishes, you could access the IPMI web interface through the IPMI port.

5.Open the browser and type in the default login username and password.

5.Connecting IPMI via Console Port

In case when you want to start the IPMI service alone without powering on the system, you can use the console port. The console port’s configuration is as follows:

Baud rate: 38400 Data bit: 8 Parity: none Stop bit: 1

Flow control: hardware Username: sysadmin Password: superuser

When the console port is connected, the terminal will display the message to ask you to press the ESC key within 5 seconds to bypass the system startup and enter the IPMI U-Boot Command Line Interface. You should do so accordingly if you want to start the IPMI service manually before the console being redirected to be used for the overall system .

After entering the U-Boot menu, type bootfmh to start up the IPMI service. You may also config the Ethernet information of the LAN port for IPMI service with the ifconfig command. The original Ethernet configuration is as follows:

eth0	Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:0B:22:06:9A
	inet addr:192.168.0.100 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
	inet6 addr: fe80::290:bff:fe22:69a/64 Scope:Link
	UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
	RX packets:266206 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	TX packets:505833 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
	RX bytes:19256366 (18.3 MiB) TX bytes:123158055 (117.4 MiB)
	Interrupt:2

2. Preparation

Step 1: Please refer to the hardware installation procedure in Chapter 1 to prepare the device for IPMI management.

Step 2: You should configure your PC to the same IP subnet as the IPMI interface. Example: IPMI Interface: 192.168.0.100

Your PC: 192.168.0.x

Step 3: Connect your PC to the IPMI port directly or to any network device such as a switch which also connects to the IPMI interface. Make sure that the PING function is working properly.

Step 4: Launch the Web browser (IE or Netscape) and enter the default IP address 192.168.0.100 into the address bar to access the Web management page.

Step 5: The Login dialog box will appear first.

Version 1.0
