IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-
fi cation that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro
server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server's hardware
status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle
a system that is non-responsive. Each node features IPMI 2.0 with KVM over a
dedicated LAN port.
