3. Introduction
Supermicro’s new Embedded IPMI solution helps save cost and improves reliability
IPMI helps reduce TTM and development cost for cross-platform management
IPMI provides solid foundation for platform management implementations
The IPMI protocol leverages an out-of-band network, which provides a flawless and secure path for mission-critical applications
Provides redundant access to the system for management

4. Features
Monitors onboard instrumentation (Temperature sensors, Power Status, Voltages, Fan speed, Chassis intrusion
Remote power control (Reset, Shutdown and Power up)
Remote system control through KVM and SOL over LAN
Failover access for redundancy
Configurable Alert destination ( or SNMP traps)

DCMI support
Option to enable secure link through HTTPS
Option to flash FW through Web interface, Windows, Linux and DOS

6. KVM
KVM-over-LAN
Keyboard-video-mouse switches (KVM), connect several computers so that a user can manipulate all of them using just one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor.
As handy as they are, these switches always forced end user to work in a close distances to the servers because of the mouse or keyboard cable length.
Supermicro embedded IPMI support KVM-over-Lan. Authorized users can manage all networked systems with it, no matter how far away.
