ASUS IPMI expansion card with dedicated Ethernet controller VGA port PCIe 3.0 x1 interface and ASPEED AST2600A3 chipset to provide the intelligence for IPMI architectures IPMI 2.0 compliant Out-of-band and in-band remote management with ASPEED AST2600A3 chipset Sensor monitoring with notifications of potentially dangerous readings or failure Control and monitoring of up to 8 chassis fans BIOS and BMC firmware update via web console or Linux tool Monitoring of power supply unit voltage and temperature Remote Management This ASUS IPMI expansion card delivers a breakthrough remote management solution for motherboards that have overclocking capabilities but not an onboard baseboard management controller (BMC). It benefits applications ranging from financial market trading for high-performance systems to remote monitoring and real-time troubleshooting. Accurate Fan Control To provide real-time system temperature and dynamic fan-curve adjustments for lower fan power consumption customizable settings for a given temperature source deliver more accurate results to control the rotational speeds of up to eight chassis fans. * It requires the BMC header on the expansion card to connect the motherboard to be able to set one of motherboard sensors as a temperature source. Real-time Hardware Monitoring Multiple embedded sensors detect the real-time status of devices across an internal network including temperatures fan speeds and voltages empowering system administrators to identify failures and reduce outage risks through efficient troubleshooting delivery. * It requires the BMC header on the expansion card to connect the motherboard to be able to read real-time sensor data. Otherwise it only captures data from the power-on self-test. Remote Power Control System administrators can remotely monitor the power status of multiple devices at once to quickly turn them on or off cycle power or initiate hard resets. This can both reduce friction in the IT workflow and deliver energy cost savings. Multiple Management Interfaces Multiple management interfaces are available to give IT admins flexible options to manage devices remotely. The web console is straightforward with a user-friendly interface to quickly access common features. Meanwhile admins who prefer a text-based interface can also interact with IPMI-enabled devices via the command prompt.
