The Sensor Reading option will give you an active look into the readings of items like current hardware temperatures and voltages as well as fan RPM. The Event Log and Sensor Readings options can be found by hovering your mouse over the “Server Health” option and choosing the necessary option. You will get a snapshot of the current console image and have basic power options underneath the snapshot. Here you will see information listed near the top that can include firmware and BIOS version information, configured IP addresses and hardware addresses. Once logged into the Supermicro IPMI interface you will be brought to the main system screen. The Supermicro IPMI panel may vary a bit from version to version and motherboard to motherboard but in most cases, the location of tools will be in the same, you may just see different wording or slightly changed interfaces.
Processes like loading operating systems, setting up networking configurations and other processes become possible from miles away thanks to the IPMI interface. IPMI gives you access to the server’s local console over a separate network connection which allows you to work on the server without it needing a public network connection. The IPMI interface is a very useful tool in the setup, configuring and troubleshooting of your server and its processes.
