Hi, I've attempted some possible solutions. - updating BMC firmware (ver.: 0.57) - updating BIOS - reinstall IPMItool (ver. 1.8.11)
By any chance, may I need additional hardware connector for power supply? During BIOS&BMC firmware update, BMC didn't automatically detect any power supply. Thus, I manually checked 'yes' for 'SSI power supply'. I also carried out a FRU/SDR package update. After these tries, BMC still recognizes a power supply. > -----Original Message----- > From: Zdenek Styblik [mailto:zdenek.styb...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 4:41 AM > To: S. H.
