Connecting Power and Reset Cables
The ARMC/3P offers the possibility to remotely control both the power and the
reset functions of the host system. In order to support it, there is additional cabling
necessary. The preferred way for this cabling are the interfaces offered by IPMI.
However, if your host does not support IPMI you may use one of the other
possibilities.
Connecting over IPMB
This connection is used to power on or power off the system, or to perform a hard
reset. You must have a motherboard that supports IPMI 1.5 or higher and has a 3
or 4 pin IPMB connector as shown in Figure 14
o
Connect the 5 pin connector of the IPMB cable with the 1x5 pin IPMB
connector on the ARMC/3P as shown in Figure 7.
o
Connect the other ending of the cable with one of the IPMB connectors (3
or 4 pin connector) on the motherboard.
o
Set the IPMI settings to IPMI over IPMB.
o
Make sure that the IPMI function is enabled on the host system.
