The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) enables configuring, monitoring, and recovery of systems remotely. BMC provides the following features:

l Provides access to system event log and sensor status
l Allows control of system functions including power on and off
l Functions independently of the system's power state or the system's operating system
l Provides text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities, and operating system consoles
For additional information on using BMC, see the documentation for the BMC and systems management applications.
