SapphireIMS allows hardware monitoring through IPMI interface.
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a set of computer interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware (BIOS or UEFI) and operating system.
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is the standard interface which allows administrators out-of-band system management.
System administrators can use SapphireIMS-IPMI to monitor platform status such as System Temperatures, Voltages, Fan speed, Power Supplies, Chassis, VRM etc.
