in layman's terms, IPMI ( Intelligent Platform Management interface,intelligentplatform Management Interface) can control server power on, off, restart, remote reload server operating system, and can monitor the physical health characteristics of the server, such as temperature, voltage, fan operating status, power state and so on functions. When Remote Desktop or ssh is not available, server maintenance can be done through IPMI. This greatly simplifies the operation and maintenance Engineer's Labor!!!
Baidu Encyclopedia on Introduction to IPMI:
Intelligent Platform Management interface (IPMI) is an open standard hardware management interface specification, which defines the specific method for communication of embedded management subsystem. IPMI Information is communicated through the substrate Management controller (BMC), which is located on the IPMI-sized hardware components. Using low-level hardware intelligence management without operating system management has two main benefits: first, this configuration allows out-of-band server management, and second, the operating system does not have to bear the task of transmitting system State data.
Take the example of an ultra-micro server:
1.BIOS settings, the IPMI function is enabled, and the ipmi LAN address can be either DHCP or static.

2. Open Internet Explorer , enter the IPMI LAN address, enter the user name and password, the default is ADMIN. If the machine does not have Java installed , or If the Java version is low, you will be prompted to install or update.
