Chapter 1
Introduction
This user's guide is written for system integrators, PC technicians and
knowledgeable PC users who intend to integrate Supermicro's unique IPMI 2.0
Management Utility with support of KVM-over-LAN* into their systems. It provides
detailed information for the application and use of the AOC-SIM1U-3B(+) that
supports remote access for system monitoring, diagnosis and management. With
the most advanced technologies built-in, the AOC-SIM1U-3B(+) and its daughter
card AOC-SIM1U-3D offer a complete, efficient, and cost-effective remote server
management. (*Note: KVM-over-LAN support is available on the AOC-SIM1U-3B+
only.)
1.1 Overview
The AOC-SIM1U-3B(+), used in conjuction with its daughter card AOC-SIM1U-3D,
offers a highly efficient, highly compatible and easy-to-use IPMI card set that al-
lows the user to take advantage of the BMC, a baseboard management controller
installed on a server motherboard, and the IPMIView, an IPMI-compliant manage-
ment application software stored 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 Raritan KIRA100 processor built-in, the AOC-SIM1U-
