I have a number of Supermicro servers which show that the "Manageabiltiy Engine" or "Management Engine" is enabled if I look in "Advanced" in the CMOS setup. However, there is no indication anywhere of what that is, or how to configure it. Googling that phrase brings up many postings about using it for remote control, but I haven't found any way to configure an IP address for it. Or is it just another name for the (insecure) IPMI?
Has anyone been able to use the ME for remote monitoring or control? How did you configure it? There are postings from people claiming to use it to update firmware, but that doesn't interest me, only configuring for remote control.
