Summary
Resolves the necessity of using Java plugin to access BMC console.
Description
While accessing the BMC dashboard, the console does not open or show the KVM controls.
Resolution
- The previous BIOS versions for Server boards S2600BP, S2600ST, S2600WF (00.01.0016, 00.01.0015, 1.74, 0.01.0014, 1.60, 00.01.0013, 1.43.91), and below do not support HTML5 connection to the BMC dashboard console.
- Refer to How do I Set Up Remote Management to Intel Servers?
- Update the BIOS to latest version 02.01.0008 to use iKVM over HTML5.
- After the update, it will show two options to access the Integrated BMC Console:
- Clicking Launch Console triggers the Java plugin.
- Clicking iKVM over HTML5 will run without the JAVA plugin if it's an HTML5-capable browser.
