IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface
specification 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.
