Installing an IPMI Utility

You use a third-party IPMI utility on your computer to create an SOL connection to the appliance.
If your computer is running Linux or Mac OS, use IPMItool. Although IPMItool is standard with many
Linux distributions, you must install IPMItool on a Mac. First, confirm that your Mac has Apple's xCode
developer tools package installed. Also, make sure the optional components for command line
development are installed ("UNIX Development" and "System Tools" in newer versions, or "Command
Line Support" in older versions). Finally, install MacPorts and IPMItool. For more information, use your
favorite search engine or see these sites:

For Windows environments, use ipmiutil, which you must compile yourself. If you do not have access
to a compiler, you can use ipmiutil itself to compile. For more information, use your favorite search
engine or see this site:
