IPMI Settings
Figure 6-33 shows the B050-000 IPMI settings panel. Its options will be explained below.
IPMI disabled:
Disables IPMI on the B050-000. This means that Status via IPMI and Event Log via IPMI are not available and
the power on/off and reset functions do not use IPMI rather than the ATX and the reset cable connected from the
B050-000 to the motherboard.
IPMI over LAN:
You can connect the IPMI over a LAN connection, too. The prerequisite for this access type is a host system
with IPMI V1.5 and a network adapter with a sideband connection to the BMC (mostly on board). In the IPMI
Settings you have to enter the IP address of this host system, the user name of a valid IPMI account and
password for this account. You can also access other IPMI systems if you enter their IP address.
Date And Time
Figure 6-34. Date and Time
This link refers to a page where the internal real time clock of the B050-000 can be set up (see Figure 6-34). You can
adjust the clock manually or to use a NTP time server. Without a time server your time setting will not be persistent, so
you have to adjust it again after the B050-000 loses power for more than a few minutes. To avoid this you can use a
NTP time server which sets up the internal clock automatically to the current UTC time. Because NTP server time is
always UTC, there is a setting that allows you to set up a static offset to get your local time.
