About

The Intel Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a critical component of server management, providing remote monitoring and control capabilities for Intel® Server Systems powered by the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family.

This controller implements the OpenBMC Redfish API specification, supporting industry-standard Redfish schemas for system management. These schemas define available resources, including their URIs, supported HTTP methods, properties, links, and actions, enabling seamless integration with automation and orchestration tools.
