HTCA-E400 User Manual

This document specifies the BMC firmware features. The BMC firmware implements IPMI 2.0 based on
ASPEED service processor. It performs all the BMC management tasks defined by IPMI 2.0.
In addition, BMC firmware runs an embedded web-server for full configuration using Web UI, which has a
low learning curve.
The BMC implements system sensor monitoring feature. It could monitor voltage, temperature, and current
of critical components.
The BMC implements chassis power and resets functions for system administrators to control and manage
the system power behavior. These functions can be activated by sending the IPMI 2.0 compatible chassis
commands to the BMC over messaging interfaces. The following list summaries the supported functions.
