Some SmartVDI-110 Server hardware configurations require specific BIOS settings. The sections
below show how to access the BIOS, how to configure the BIOS for an IPMI controller, and how to
configure the BIOS for NVIDIA
The table below shows how to access the SmartVDI-110 Server BIOS.
Step
1
Connect a keyboard and VGA monitor to the server.
2
Power on the server or reset server power.
3
Watch the server splash screen for prompts. When prompted, press the DELETE
key to enter the BIOS setup utility.
You can now use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate the BIOS menus.
SmartVDI-110 Servers include an IPMI 2.0 + KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) management
controller. This IPMI controller uses a dedicated IP address, and the default setting is for a DHCP-
assigned network address. ClearCube recommends giving the controller a static IP address. You can
easily change this setting from the BIOS.

2
Use the keyboard arrow keys to select the IPMI menu.

Select Update IPMI LAN Configuration, and press ENTER. Select Yes, and then
press ENTER.

Select Configuration Source and press ENTER.
6
Select Static and press ENTER.
7
Use the keyboard to configure the Station IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP
addresses as appropriate for your environment. Select each item and press ENTER
to activate the text entry field. Enter an IP address for each item and press ENTER
to set the address.

If your server configuration includes one or more NVIDIA GRID graphics cards,
continue to the next section. Otherwise, press the F4 key to save your changes and
exit the BIOS. See the note below about accessing IPMI utilities.
Next steps: After saving your changes you can use a Java
tool to access the server's IPMI utilities. The default user name is ADMIN and the default password
is ADMIN (both values are case-sensitive.)
