The new interfaces in IPMI 1.5 facilitate the
management of rack-mounted Internet servers and
systems in remote environments over serial, modem
and LAN connections.

IPMI 1.5 also includes new capabilities to

automatically alert Information Technology (IT)
managers of system errors. These new capabilities,
combined with the remote management functionality,
allow IT managers to manage their servers and
systems, regardless of system health, power state or
supported communication media.
IPMI 1.5 is backward compatible with version 1.0 and
includes extensions to support existing and emerging
standards.
