Thanks Andrew. &nbsp;Figured I'd have to reboot but wasn't 100% sure.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I've used IPMI to look at basic info on a Supermicro server with a browser. &nbsp;Is there a way to examine or edit BIOS settings as well w/o rebooting the machine?<br />
<br />
This is on a SYS-5028D-TN4T motherboard.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Examining BIOS setting with IPMI?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
