Enabling iKVM Access to the Dell CMC Console

securely through the iKVM’s CMC Console option. To enable the CMC

Console using the Web-based interface:

3 Click the Setup tab. The iKVM Configuration page is displayed.

5 Click Apply to save the setting.

Updating the iKVM Firmware

NOTE:

The iKVM resets and becomes temporarily unavailable after the firmware

has been uploaded successfully.

1 Log in to the CMC’s Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC

Using the Web-Based Interface" on page 31.

2 Select Chassis in the system tree.
3 Click the Update tab. The Updatable Components page is displayed.
4 Click the iKVM name. The Firmware Update page is displayed.
5 In the Value field, type the path on your management station or shared

network where the firmware image file resides, or click

Browse to navigate

to the file location.

NOTE:

The default iKVM firmware image name is ikvm.bin. However, the

iKVM firmware image name can be renamed. If you are unable to locate

ikvm.bin, determine whether another user has renamed the file.

6 Click Update. A dialog box appears asking you to confirm the action.
