IPMI stands for Intelligent Platform Management Interface
and is an open standard for machine health, and (remote) control
and is implemented by many hardware vendors - Intel is one of the originators,
and early adopters of the standard.
This package contains a utility for interfacing with IPMI-enabled devices
through either the OpenIPMI kernel driver or with IPMI-over-LAN protocol.
These functions include printing FRU(Field Replaceable Unit) information,
LAN configuration, sensor readings, and remote chassis power control.
