5.3 Other ways to connect to IPMI
AST2500 firmware meets the IPMI 2.0 specification, so users can use the standard IPMI driver assigned
by the operating system.
5.3.1 IPMI Drive
AST2500 supports Intel referenced drivers, which can be obtained from the following website:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/ipmi/ipmi-technical-resources.html via Windows
Server 2003 R2, Microsoft also provides IPMI driver package. You can also use the open IPMI driver in
the system.
AST2500 supports the open IPMI driver of Linux kernel. Use the following command to load the
IPMI driver: “modprobe ipmi_devintf” “modprobe ipmi_si” If you are using an older version of Linux
kernel, you need to use "IPMI"_ "KCs" instead of "IPMI"_ "Si" component.
5.3.2 IPMI tools and other open source software
AST2500 supports open source IPMI tools. You can also use other software, such as open IPMI,
IPMI Utility, etc.
The above documents are designed to help you quickly understand and deploy the IPMI function of
the system. We will provide other help documents about the detailed function operation manual of IPMI.
