With the integrated ThinkServer Management Module (also known as the BMC chip), no matter what
condition the server operating system is in and no matter if the server is on or off, as long as the server
is connected to network and an ac power source, the interaction with the TMM controlled servers can be
achieved through system network. The user can obtain the server hardware health information and SEL,
