IPMB? ICMB?

[Baldy18]

Anyone around here know what IPMB & ICMB are? Stand for? Anything about them? Also has anyone heard of a 6 pin edge connector or know where I can get one?

For anyone that needs a little help this pertains to an Intel SC450NX MP.

Well, an ICBM is an intercontinental ballistic missile (just thought you would like to know that), and Intel defines the rest.

The IPMI Initiative consists of three specifications: Intelligent Platform Management Interface, Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) and the Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB). The IPMI Initiative derives its name from the main specification (IPMI) which defines the messages and system interface to platform management hardware. The IPMB specification defines an internal management bus for extending platform management within a chassis, while the ICMB specification defines the external management bus between IPMI enabled systems.
