GIGABYTE Management Console (AMI MegaRAC SP-X)

This GIGABYTE server product utilizes a AMI MegaRAC SP-X platform for BMC server
management, with a feature rich and easy to use browser-based graphical user interface.
Notable features include:

• RESTful API support (including the latest DMTF standards of Redfish) allows the

administrator to integrate with 3rd party applications for server management

• HTML5-based iKVM remote management client included as a standard feature, no

additional add-on license required to purchase

• Detailed FRU information from SMBIOS

• Pre- event automatic video recording feature from 10 to 30 seconds

• SAS / RAID controller monitoring feature

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM) is GIGABYTE’s proprietary multiple server remote
management software platform, available as a free download from each GIGABYTE server
product page. GSM is compatible with either IPMI or Redfish (RESTful API) connection
interfaces, and comprises the following sub-programs:
