1-7 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the
motherboard.
Intel
®
Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the Supermicro Power Manager [SPM] is installed)
The Intel
®
Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency.
Although IPNM Specification Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (BaseBoard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ment Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Note
: Support for IPNM Specification Version 1.5 or Vision 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
Management Engine (ME)
The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O
Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services
provided by SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.
