The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is an out-of-band system management tool that monitors a server module, even if the server module becomes dysfunctional.
The IPMI provides health check-type information about blade memory issues and shared system components, such as: fan speeds, CPU temperatures, voltage levels, and power supplies.
To access the IPMI configuration specification, perform the step below.
From the Advanced menu, select IPMI Configuration and press the Enter key.
