System Features
IPMI controller enables you to communicate with the BMC via a Java-based web
interface. The BMC has the following features:
• Installs in the JIPMI slot of the serverboard
•Enables you to:
• Monitor the Server Event Log (SEL)
• Monitor system temperature, fan speed, and voltage
• Power up and power down the system remotely
• Update BMC firmware images
The BMC monitors onboard instrumentation such as temperature sensors, power status,
voltages and fan speed, and provides remote power control capabilities to reboot and/or
reset the server. It also includes remote access to the BIOS configuration and operating
system console information via serial-over-LAN (SOL). Because the controller is a
separate processor, the monitoring and control functions work regardless of CPU
operation or system power-on status.
