## IPMI 2.0 everywhere

ipmideck speaks standard IPMI 2.0, so most server BMCs respond. Support is tiered by how
thoroughly each vendor has been tested. Fan-curve control (FanPilot) currently relies on
Dell iDRAC raw commands; other vendors' fan control is on the roadmap.

| Vendor                 | Status                                                          | Enable IPMI                                    | Notes                                                |

<Note>
  Any BMC that implements IPMI 2.0 should connect for sensor monitoring, power control,
  SEL, and FRU. The tiers above describe how much FanPilot fan control and vendor-specific
  behavior has been validated on real hardware.

## Enabling IPMI on your BMC

Most servers ship with IPMI-over-LAN disabled or with default credentials. Before
ipmideck can connect, you need to enable IPMI 2.0 over LAN and set a user account on the
BMC. The **[Enabling IPMI on your BMC →](/en/enable-ipmi)** guide has a per-vendor
walkthrough for each controller:

* [Dell iDRAC](/en/enable-ipmi/dell-idrac)
* [Supermicro](/en/enable-ipmi/supermicro): *low-confidence; verify on hardware*
* [HPE iLO](/en/enable-ipmi/hpe-ilo)
* [Lenovo XCC](/en/enable-ipmi/lenovo-xcc)
* [IBM IMM](/en/enable-ipmi/ibm-imm): *low-confidence; verify on hardware*

<Note>
  The Supermicro and IBM IMM2 walkthroughs are flagged **low-confidence**, their BMC
  navigation paths come from sparse documentation and need validation on real hardware
  before you rely on them. Each page carries a prominent warning.
