I have some questions. I found a supermicro motherboard that I can put in a server using the Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor. The reason I want to use the mobile processors is because they use less watts. For an example a core 2 duo at 3.0Ghz uses 65 watts. Keep in mind that most processors at 3.0Ghz use about 100W. If I use the mobile core 2 duo my 3.0 Ghz processor uses 35W.
I have some questions about IPMI and KVM.
I know that IPMI 2.0 will simulate being on the console of the machine. I can reinstall the OS, put the server in single user mode, mount the cd rom on my desktop, etc remotely.
Here is my question. Is there KVM equipment that will enable me to simulate being on the console of the server without having to go to the data center?
What equipment do I need?
Do I need a PCI card for each box?
If I need a KVM PCI card is the card compatible with the motherboard (which board) or does it work with any motherboard?
I happen to know that SuperMicro has a mnotherboard for the Intel Atom and i7 with built in IPMI.
Some of my dedicated server will be core 2 duo. For these servers I need IPMI 2.0 or KVM. Through KVM I need to be able to log into the server in single user mode or reinstall the OS, go into the bios, possibly monitor bandwidth and/or condition of components.
