HP IPMI Provider for HP BladeSystem Servers and ProLiant 300 and 500 Series Servers For HP BladeSystem Servers and ProLiant 300 and 500 Series Servers that do not contain IPMI hardware, the IPMI Provider is required for IPMI functionality. The HP IPMI Provider emulates the Microsoft IPMI Provider by collecting IPMI data from the HP System Management Controller Driver and making it available through the "root\hardware" WMI namespace. ProLiant 300 and 500 Series Servers Generation 4 and older require the IPMI Provider Bundle, which is included in Version 7.50 (or later) of the ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for Microsoft Windows Server 2003, to support the R2 Hardware Management feature. Supported configurations Windows Server 2003 R2 should load and run on any ProLiant server that meets the recommended hardware configuration established by Microsoft.
