Introduction
1-1 Overview
This user's manual covers the AOC-1UIPMI-B, AOC-IPMI20-E, AOC-1UIPMI-LANG
and AOC-LPIPMI-LANG add-on cards. These cards are highly efficient, highly com-
patible and easy-to-use IPMI cards. They allow the user to take advantage of the
BMC, a baseboard management controller installed on a server motherboard and
the IPMIView, an IPMI compliant management application software loaded in a PC,
to provide serial links between the main processor and other system components,
allowing for network interfacing via remote access. With an independent Hitachi
Renesas H8S processor built-in, these add-on cards provide the user with a solution
to ease the complex and expensive systems, allowing an administrator to access,
monitor, diagnose and manage network interfacing anywhere, anytime.

1-4 Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required be-
fore any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your
vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning
to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the
outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and
handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service
is complete.
For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.
supermicro.com/support/rma/).
Whenever possible, repack the add-on card in the original Supermicro box, using
the original packaging materials. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack
the add-on card in an anti-static bag and inside the box. Make sure that there is
enough packaging material surrounding the add-on card so that it does not become
damaged during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages in
-
curred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper
maintenance of products.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.
