3.1 Introduction
The MIC-3392 fully supports the IPMI 2.0 interface and the PICMG 2.9 R1.0 specifi-
cation. The Renesas H8S/2167 has been implemented as the IPMI controller / Base-
board Management Controller (BMC) to run firmware and collect information. The
MIC-3392 IPMI firmware is sourced from Avocent, a provider of proven and tested
IPMI implementations in a wide range of mission-critical applications. The BMC's key
features and functions are listed below.

3.3 IPMI function list
The following standard IPMI commands are supported.
Note! The Network function (NetFn) field identifies the functional class of the
message. The Network Function clusters IPMI commands into different
sets. Please refer to the IPMI specification of network function codes for
more information.
These command codes are compliant with the IPMI specification.
Mandatory and Optional commands are defined in the IPMI specifica-
tion. For more details, please refer to the IPMI specification.
