If you use old version Linux Kernel, you need to replace module “ipmi_si” with “ipmi_kcs” Note that TYAN motherboard BIOS encodes IPMI Base IO address at 0xCA2 in its DMI table IPMI entry, any generic OS IPMI drivers should have no problem to support it.
2. ASTER GUI 2.1 ASTER GUI Overview The AST2150 has a user-friendly Graphics User Interface (GUI) called the Aster GUI. It is designed to be easy to use. It has a low learning curve because it uses a standard Internet browser. You can expect to be up and running in less than five minutes.
2.3 Server Health This page contains options to show motherboard sensor readings and events. SDR, Sensor reading, Sensor events (System event log), and PEF (Platform event filters) are implemented in compliant with ipmi2.0 specification.
2.4.1 Alerts This page lists configured alert destinations, use modify button to configure it, or send a test alert to the destination. This Modify Alert page contains drop down menu’s and fields to configure alert types (email, SNMP traps), event severity, destination IP/Email address, and subject etc.
2.4.2 Mouse Mode This configuration depends on the OS installed on Local Host. Note, it’s OS on local host with AST2150, not the remote console. Most modern Windows versions(2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008) and Mac OS X, use the Absolute Mode. Relative mode is used by most Linux distributions (SuSE, RHEL) and older operating system like Windows 95/98.
