Advanced Power Management
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)
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 1.5 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible
Manageability Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Manageability Engine (ME)
The Manageability 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 proveded by the ME on client platforms.
