iBMC receives and handles the alarms reported by the field replacement units (FRUs).
l Status monitoring
iBMC monitors the operating status of the FRUs.
l Device information management
iBMC provides the function of querying the information about the device version,
model, and asset information.

temperature and the workload.
l IPMItool for device management
iBMC supports the commands released by the IPMItool.
l Support for management over the WebUI
iBMC provides a user-friendly and simple Web interface for ease of management. On the
Web interface, you can perform setting and querying tasks quickly.
l Centralized account management
iBMC stores user accounts on the Active Directory server in a centralized manner and
directs the authentication to the server. In this way, you can log in to the management
system using a domain account.
