Featuring IPMI 2.0 Server Remote ManagementIPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface specification that defines a common, abstract message-based interface to platform monitoring and control functions. Providing peace of mind to customers, SIM (Supermicro Intelligent Management) module implements IPMI 2.0 technology to provide remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro server platforms. With SIM, server administrators can view a server's hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.The AOC-SIMSO-HTC/AOC-SIMLC-HTC is a highly efficient, highly compatible andeasy-to-use IPMI card that allows the user to take advantage of the BMC, a baseboardmanagement controller installed on a server motherboard and the IPMIView,an IPMI compliant management application software loaded in a PC, to provideserial links between the main processor and other system components, allowing fornetwork interfacing via remote access. With an independent Hitachi Renesas H8Sprocessor built-in, the AOC-SIMSO-HTC/AOC-SIMLC-HTC provides the user with asolution to ease the complex and expensive systems, allowing an administrator toaccess, monitor, diagnose and manage network interfacing anywhere, anytime.
