Software Application and Usage

With an independent I/O processor embedded in Raritan's Kira 100 RISC

System Chip, the AOC-SIMSO/SIMSO+ Add-On Card allows the user to access,

monitor, manage and interface with systems that are in remote locations via

LAN. The necessary utilities for the access and configuration of the add-on

card are included on the Supermicro bootable CDs that came with your card.

This section provides information on the configuration and the access of the

IPMI card on the network.

other IPMI Network Settings
