1.3 IPMI Overview
This product fully supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI v2.0, without
LAN support) and PICMG 2.9 R1.0 specifications. All of its IPMI functionality operates under
an autonomous management controller even if the board is held in reset or power down by a
management card within a system designed for High Availability such as XL-VHDS or
XL-LP42.
While the CP6002 IPMI implementation is fully compliant to IPMI v2.0 and should work with any
System Management Software that respects this specification, it has been designed to be eas-
ily integrated with the Service Availability Forum-Hardware Platform Interface (SAF-HPI) spec-
ification.
More information about Service Availability can be found on the following Web site:

IPMI is an extensible and open standard that defines autonomous system monitoring. It is au-
tonomous because every management controller within a compact PCI chassis monitors its
own sensors and sends critical events through a dedicated bus to a Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) that logs it into a non-volatile System Event Log (SEL). The CP6002 IPMI im-
plementation includes a device SDR repository module that allows the user's System Manage-
ment Software (SMS) to detect all system components and to build a database of all
management controller sensors.
