Supermicro Intelligent Management

The Supermicro X11 platform’s Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is built on the ASPEED AST 2500 controller. The AST2500 is designed to dedicatedly support PCIE 1x, Gen2 bus interfaces. It supports 14x I2C/SMBUS devices.

The Supermicro X10 platform’s Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is built on the ASPEED AST 2400 controller. The AST2400 is designed to dedicatedly support PCIE 1x bus interface. It supports 14x I2C/SMBUS devices.

The Supermicro X9 platform’s BMC is built on Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller. The WPCM450 communicates with onboard components via six SMBus interfaces, Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) buses, and General Purpose I/O ports.

BMCs are ideal for server management and supports

– The 2D/VGA-compatible Graphics Core with support of PCI interface
– Multimedia virtualization and Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) Redirection functions
– Network access via an external Ethernet PHY module or shared NCSI connections

For configuring BMC securely in datacenters, please review our best practices guide and firmware updates to address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).
