IPMI access to EVO

Bryan Ratkowski
  • Updated

Most EVO form factors feature an integrated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) supporting IPMI 2.0, with an Ethernet port labeled IPMI at the rear of the chassis.

This Out-of-Band (OOB) interface allows system administrators to monitor hardware health, power-cycle the system, and access the desktop remotely via an iKVM / Remote Console, independent of the installed operating system.

Accessing the Web GUI and iKVM Remote Console

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your management network to the dedicated IPMI / BMC management port on the system chassis.

  2. Open a web browser on a workstation on the same subnet and navigate to https://10.10.10.88.

  3. Log in using the default credentials above.

  4. From the top navigation menu, go to Remote Control Console Redirection.

  5. Click Launch Console:

    • Modern Systems: Launches directly in the browser via an HTML5 Virtual Console (no plugins required).

    • Legacy Systems: Downloads a .jnlp file requiring a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to execute the Java iKVM applet.

Verifying or Changing IPMI Settings via BIOS/UEFI

If the IP address was modified or needs to be assigned via DHCP:

  1. Connect a physical monitor and keyboard directly to the EVO system.

  2. Power on or reboot the machine.

  3. Tap [Del] or [F2] during POST to enter the BIOS/UEFI Setup Menu.

  4. Navigate to the Server Mgmt or IPMI tab.

  5. Select BMC Network Configuration to view or modify the IP source (Static vs. DHCP), IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway.

  6. Save changes and exit (F10).
