1. IPMI OS Drivers and Open Source Software
AST2400 firmware is full compliant with IPMI 2.0 specification. So users could use
standard IPMI driver comes from operation system distribution.
1.1 Windows IPMI Driver
AST2400 supports Intel reference driver, you can get it from
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm
From Windows Server 2003 R2, Microsoft also provide in box IPMI driver. You can
use it also.
1.2 Open IPMI Driver on Linux
AST2400 supports the Open IPMI driver in Linux Kernel. Use the following
commands to load IPMI drivers.
“modprobe ipmi_devintf”
“modprobe ipmi_si”
If you use old version Linux Kernel, you need to replace module “ipmi_si” with
“ipmi_kcs”
Note that TYAN motherboard BIOS encodes IPMI Base IO address at 0xCA2 in its
DMI table IPMI entry, any generic OS IPMI drivers should have no problem to
support it.
1.3 IPMI Tool and Other Open Source Software
AST2400 supports open source software IPMI Tool, you can also use other ones
like Open IPMI, IPMI Utility. Note that for IPMI Tool SOL session, user needs to use
BIOS setup menu to configure “Remote Serial Console Redirect” to use COMA, and
set baud rate to 38.4K, 8 bits, no parity, and Xon/Xoff handshaking.
