Installing Ubuntu on a dedicated server via IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) can be done by following these general steps:

1. Configure the IPMI settings on your server. This will typically involve setting up the network settings and user accounts for IPMI access.

2. Access the IPMI interface. This can typically be done by entering the server's IP address in a web browser and logging in with the user account and password that you set up in step 1.

3. Boot the server into the BIOS/UEFI setup. This is typically done by pressing the appropriate key during startup, such as F2 or Del.

4. Change the boot order of the server to boot from the installation media. This will typically involve selecting the "Boot" or "Boot Order" option in the BIOS/UEFI setup, and then choosing the appropriate device to boot from (e.g. CD/DVD drive or USB drive).

5. Insert the Ubuntu installation media (e.g. USB drive or CD/DVD) into the server and reboot the server.

6. Follow the prompts to install Ubuntu on the server. This will typically involve selecting the appropriate options, such as language, keyboard layout, and partitioning options.

7. Once the installation is complete, reboot the server and log in to the new Ubuntu installation.

It's important to note that the exact steps may vary depending on the server hardware and IPMI implementation, so it's recommended to check the documentation provided by your server manufacturer or hosting provider to ensure that you are following the correct steps.

Also, ensure that you've backed up your data before starting the installation process.
