1.3 A Brief Introduction to the IPMI

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification provides remote
access to multiple users from different locations for networking. It also allows a system
administrator to monitor system health and manage computer events from a remote
location.
IPMI operates independently of the operating system. With the WPCM450 Controller
and the IPMI software built in, the motherboard allows an administrator to access,
monitor, diagnose and manage a computer system from a remote site. It also provides
remote access to multiple users from different locations for system maintenance and
network management.
