Chapter 6: BIOS

IPMI Extended Instruction
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 wthout
using Supermicro 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
even when this option is disabled.
