120 Cyclades ACS 5000 Advanced Console Server Command Reference Guide
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
IPMI is a service-level protocol and implementation that provides intelligent management to
servers. IPMI allows server control and monitoring by means of an always-on chip located on the
server's motherboard called the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that may respond to
IPMI commands out-of-band.
The Cyclades ACS 5000 advanced console server has an implementation of IPMI over LAN, which
allows the console server to control power on servers, and also to obtain sensor readings such as
CPU temperature or fan speed.
The IPMI support in the console server, extends its functionality so the console server may be used
to control power to the serially connected servers through the IPMI protocol.
