Overview
The AOC-SIMSO-HTC/AOC-SIMLC-HTC is a highly efficient, highly compatible and
easy-to-use IPMI card that allows the user to take advantage of the BMC, a base-
board management controller installed on a server motherboard and the IPMIView,
an IPMI compliant management application software loaded in a PC, to provide
serial links between the main processor and other system components, allowing for
network interfacing via remote access. With an independent Hitachi Renesas H8S
processor built-in, the AOC-SIMSO-HTC/AOC-SIMLC-HTC provides the user with a
solution to ease the complex and expensive systems, allowing an administrator to
access, monitor, diagnose and manage network interfacing anywhere, anytime.
