Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) Version 1.50.50 User's Guide

To enable IPMI serial routing of BIOS to iDRAC7, configure IPMI Serial in any of the following modes in iDRAC7:

• IPMI basic mode — Supports a binary interface for program access, such as the IPMI shell (ipmish) that is included with the Baseboard Management Utility (BMU). For example, to print the System Event Log using ipmish via IPMI Basic mode, run the following command:

  ipmish -com 1 -baud 57600 -flow cts -u root -p calvin sel get

• IPMI terminal mode — Supports ASCII commands that are sent from a serial terminal. This mode supports limited number of commands (including power control) and raw IPMI commands that are typed as hexadecimal ASCII characters. It allows you to view the operating system boot sequences up to BIOS, when you login to iDRAC7 through SSH or Telnet.
