Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by the
motherboard.
Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
®
when the Supermicro Power Manager [SPM] is installed)
The Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
®
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency.
Although IPNM Specification Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ment Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM 2.0/3.0 support is dependent on the power supply
used in the system.

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O
Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services
provided by SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.
