Environment

Intel® Server Board S2600WF Family

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.
