===DRAFT Hardware Management Specifications for IPMI (Legacy)===

Proposed specifications for the IPMI implementation on any device using IPMI. This includes PDUs, Servers, Switches and Storage devices.
The specifications allow a Data Center System Manager uniform remote access to the hardware in the rack. All the specifications have questions in red.
