A technical supporter of the vendor said that SR1690WBR - my server model -
contains a bridge between IPMB and PSMI.
But, he doesn't know the reason why BMC cannot recognize a power supply.
Thanks,

It may recognize the power supply but it does not mean there is an
electrical bridge between the IPMB bus and PSMI bus.
Check with your vendor that bridging between the two buses is supported.

Hi,
I've attempted some possible solutions.
- updating BMC firmware (ver.: 0.57)
- updating BIOS
- reinstall IPMItool (ver. 1.8.11)
By any chance, may I need additional hardware connector for power supply?
During BIOS&BMC firmware update, BMC didn't automatically detect any power
supply.
Thus, I manually checked 'yes' for 'SSI power supply'.
I also carried out a FRU/SDR package update.
After these tries, BMC still recognizes a power supply.
