The ASRock Rack PAUL is a low-profile PCIe 2.0 x1 IPMI add-in card with an ASPEED AST2500 controller and iKVM support, suited to server builders who need dedicated out-of-band management and remote KVM access.
Recommended For
- Homelab builders adding remote BIOS and console access to a server or workstation without built-in IPMI; the PAUL provides networked iKVM, with power-control features dependent on connecting the required motherboard headers.
- Operators of small or home servers that need to manage a machine remotely for console access, power control, sensor checks, or IPMI event logs instead of relying on a monitor and keyboard at the server.
- Experienced hardware tinkerers who want to add BMC functionality to an existing PC and are comfortable checking motherboard support, wiring headers, and potentially experimenting with alternative firmware.
- Builders of compact server systems who need a low-profile add-in card for remote management and can spare a PCIe slot and a dedicated network connection for the BMC.
