Introduction : ACS Console Server and Power Management

ACS Console Server and Power Management
The ACS console server enables users who have power management permissions to power up, power down and reboot devices. The console server offers the following power management options:
Remote power management of servers that have Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) controllers. The console server's implementation of the IPMI protocol lets authorized users manage power for servers that have embedded IPMI controllers. IPMI servers do not need to be connected to the console server because their IPMI controllers respond to out-of-band IPMI commands. Authorized users can also perform IPMI power management of serially-connected devices. The console server uses IPMI V1.5.
