This thread has also been used to discuss IPMI. We installed 1U cases in a rack and plugged-in the machines but they were turned-off. The air-conditioning installment was not finished, the rack doors were open but the lower part had many cables that basically covered the rear part of the nodes. That area became so hot that the rubber on the power supply cords became soft. Even the part of the racked U1 cases whose air flow was not blocked by cables, the internal part of the case became so hot that the main board "refused" to start. Moral: I won't mention the brand because I cannot compare to other brands, for our particular nodes the IPMI did not have even a tiny fan, no ventilation, but the IPMI card generates a fair amount of heat; the nodes need externally forced cold air when only IPMI is active.
