IPMI Function Support
Use this feature to enable IPMI support. The options are
Enabled
and
Disabled
. When
Disabled, the system powers on quickly by removing BIOS support for extended IPMI
features. The Disable option is for applications that require faster power on time without using
Update Manager (SUM) or extended IPMI features. The BMC network configuration in the
BIOS setup is also invalid when IPMI Function Support is disabled. The general BMC
function and motherboard health monitor such as fan control are still functioning when this
option is disabled.
