IPMI Event Log
The IPMI Event Log is a log that is generated by the management controller when it detects significant
or critical system management events. This includes messages for events such as ‘temperature
threshold exceeded’, ‘voltage threshold exceeded’, ‘power fault’, etc.
To view the IPMI event log:
1. Turn on the monitor and the server.
If the server is already turned on, save your data and exit all open applications, and then restart
the server.
2. During POST, press F10 to access the AMI BIOS Setup Utility.
3. In the Advanced menu screen, select the IPMI field, and then press Enter.
4. Select System Event Log, and then press Enter.
IPMI Card Introduction
The operating system has the BMC Setup function when the IPMI card is installed into the server. The
server will export VGA port via the VGA connector on the IPMI card automatically when the IPMI card
is plugged (BIOS default setting). The user can use the “RJ45” port (LAN port) on the IPMI card to
connect the WebUI of BMC.
