System x3530 M4 Type 7160: Installation and Service Guide
The command-line interface provides direct access to server management
functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue
commands to control the server power, view system information, and identify
the server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and run the
file as a script.
Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote
location. You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server,
identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standard
Telnet client application can access the SOL connection.
