"Supermicro Intelligent Management (SIM) module monitors onboard
instrumentation such as temperature sensors, power status, voltages and fan
speed, and provides remote power control capabilities to reboot and/or reset
the server. It also includes remote access to the BIOS configuration and
operating system console information via SOL (Serial over LAN) or embedded
KVM capabilities. Because the controller is a separate processor, the
monitoring and control functions work regardless of CPU operation or system
power-on status."

20mb/sec wtf. and I thought my adaptec 2100s was POS at 60 MB/s. What are
you doing, retro fitting some quantum fireballs? Random writes? IDK, I hope
you left out a 0.
