The AOC-SIM1U is a highly efficient, highly compatible, and easy-to-use IPMI card that allows the user to take advantage of the baseboard management controller installed on a server motherboard and the IPMIView, an IPMIcompliant management application software loaded in a PC. This enables serial links between the main processor and other system components, allowing for network interfacing via remote access. With an independent Raritan KIRA100 processor built-in, the AOC-SIM1U provides the user with a solution to ease the complex and expensive systems, allowing an administrator to access, monitor, diagnose and manage network interfacing anywhere, anytime.
