+And, of course, you need to create a DNS record so that a domain (e.g. `ipmi.john.mayfirst.org`) points to robideau's IP address.
+
+== Setup IPMI ==
+
+Now, you can access the IPMI web configuration.
+
+The default user pass is: ADMIN/ADMIN - case sensitive!
+
+Here are some important changes:
+
+ * Configuration -> Users
+ * Change password for ADMIN user. **NOTE** make password 16 characters or less and keep out weird characters. It is possible to lock yourself out with this step.
+ * Configuration -> Port
+ * Only check off Web port (80) and Ikvm server port (5900)
+
+Now, you can access the "monitor" by clicking Remove Control -> iKVM/HTML5
+
+== So-called Serial access ==
+
+On robideau, or your jump host, install `ipmiutil`.
+
+Then, create a simple bash script to help you remember the command:
+
+{{{
+ipmiutil sol -V 4 -a -N 192.168.56.3 -U ADMIN -Y
+}}}
+
+You will be prompted for the password.
+
+== Setup Linux ==
+
+After installing linux, edit `/etc/default/grub` and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX to:
+
+{{{
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8"
+}}}
+
+And add:
+
+{{{
+GRUB_TERMINAL=serial
+GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"
+}}}
