HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

HP Insight Power Manager
HP Insight Power Manager (IPM) is an HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) plug-in that aggregates power
data, and provides remote control regardless of operating system type and enables you to monitor historical
power consumption and heat dissipation to effectively manage those resources. It extends the unified
infrastructure framework by providing new levers into the server and enabling policy-based power and
thermal management. For more information, see HP Insight Power Manager - Getting started.
