Hi Joel,
Yes, but a separate and distinct power distribution for that +5 volt
supply will then need to be implemented on the system board to support
a full IPMI implementation residing on the system board. That was my
point. You are confusing power source with implemented PCB power
distribution.
Hi Karen
I haven't seen IPMI cards that get their power from any other place
than the motherboard slot. There may be some that have a separate
supply, but I haven't run across them. That is, as long as the power
supply is "on", the main system power does not need to be, and the IPMI
is powered over a similar bus to that which powers the motherboard
network cards.
I don't think Joel was confused on this.
