Chapter 1: Introduction
IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface
specification that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for
Supermicro server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s
hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and
power cycle a system that is non-responsive.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include voltage monitors, auto-
switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection
and BIOS rescue.
