M3291/M3295 need BIOS support. So before using M3291/3295, please make sure
BIOS you used is IPMI enabled. If not, please update BIOS first.
Users can refer to http://www.tyan.com/support/html/faq_tso.html
If you wan to know the detail about BIOS for IPMI, please refer the M3291/3295 FAQ.
2. Broadcom NIC Firmware Update
It's M3291 only. M3295 use dedicated NIC. So there's no such requirement for
M3295.
Some motherboards use Broadcom NIC as IPMI side-band NIC. User must load
Broadcom NIC ASF firmware to enable the IPMI function. Users can get them from
M3291/3295 Driver CD or Tyan website.
