Supermicro AOC-SIMLC-HTC interface cards/adapter Internal

Featuring IPMI 2.0 Server Remote Management

IPMI (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 and
easy-to-use IPMI card that allows the user to take advantage of the BMC, a baseboard
management controller installed on a server motherboard and the IPMIView,
an IPMI compliant management application software loaded in a PC, to provide
serial links between the main processor and other system components, allowing for
network interfacing via remote access. With an independent Hitachi Renesas H8S
processor built-in, the AOC-SIMSO-HTC/AOC-SIMLC-HTC provides the user with a
solution to ease the complex and expensive systems, allowing an administrator to
access, monitor, diagnose and manage network interfacing anywhere, anytime.
