operating system is running. With the BMC onboard, any IPMI-compliant software can
monitor, control or diagnose the hardware locally, or from a remote site.

Auxiliary SMBus / I
The SMDC provides 4 dedicated and independent buses for user expansion. Many
devices including Northbridge, Southbridge, Super I/O, Hardware Monitor, LAN
controller, etc., provide I
communication between these devices.
Teamed with other IPMB Devices (PMCs and EMCs)
Numerous devices in the market already support IPMB communication. BMC facilitates
the control and management of these devices. PMC stands for Peripheral
Management Controller and EMC stands for Enclosure Management Controller.
