7.1 IPMI
IPMI ist a must have for a server: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform_Management_Interface
IPMI is a remote management microcontroller on serverclass hardware like Supermicro mainboards that ends
with a „-F„ . You can connect the microcontroller remotely with a webbrowser even when the server is in a
power-off state. Functions are mainly power on/off/reset, a remote console/keyboard and the ability to mount
ISOs like a lokal CD/DVD drive.
IPMI window (Java applet) with a virtual keyboard and a console preview that can be displayed full size.
You can enable IPMI and its ip adress in your mainboard bios. It comes with a dedicated network port so
you can connect with a dedicated and isolated management network. As an option, you can use your regular
Lan port (insecure). IPMI requires a current Java (free download from www.java.com). For security reasons, you
must allow the ip of your server ( ex https://172.19.10.5 ) for java applets.
