Enabling or disabling the IPMI Watchdog Timer

Use the IPMI Watchdog Timer option to enable a Boot Time (POST) IPMI compliant Watchdog Timer (WDT) that is disabled when the user issues an IPMI command to the system. This timer is not automatically disabled.
Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > System Options > Server Availability > IPMI Watchdog Timer.
  2. Select a setting.

    • Disabled

    • Enabled
      NOTE: After enabling the IPMI Watchdog Timer, the timer does not stop if the user reboots the system into RBSU or UEFI shell. The WDT still times out after the selected wait time, and the system proceeds with the selected timeout reset action.
  3. Save your setting.
