I/O Ports
The I/O ports include one COM port (an additional COM header is located on the
serverboard), a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, two Gb Ethernet ports and
a dedicated IPMI LAN port.
IPMI
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci-
fi cation 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. Please refer to our web page on the X8QB6-F/
X8QBE-F for more details.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard voltage moni-
tors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU
overheat sensors and BIOS rescue.
