Supermicro
For our servers we rely mainly on solid SUPERMICRO hardware, housing and motherboard.
Motherboards, BIOS und IPMI
Each of our Supermicro serverboards has a dedicated management port to access the case management, fan control, hardware error log and remote console at any time.
The so-called IPMI from Supermicro is also available when no operating system is loaded. In case of problems with the installed hardware, the event logs there are necessary to analyze the error.
IPMI’s remote console facilitates access to the device.
