Chapter 8: Working with IPMI Target Devices 253
The information graphically displayed using gauges in the IPMI Session window may vary
between IPMI target devices, due to the type of sensors in the BMC. For example, if a BMC does
not contain a sensor that displays voltage information, that gauge will not appear in the IPMI
Viewer window. You may specify how often information is refreshed in the IPMI Viewer window.
