Not required, true. Useful YES.
Look up "IPMI" under supermicro. This is what's running there.
Most x86 HMCs had IBM/Lenovo's equivalent to this however you had to add
a key to actually be able to use the system remotely with this. It also
was NOT recommended by IBM. They claimed somethihng about the BIOS could
change and so you shouldn't use or update the code etc. So most folks
didn't use it though some did and found it useful.
With IPMI you'll find a pretty full function management interface for
the HMC. You can power it up and down, update firmware, and importantly
access the boot screens remotely. You may want to look up IPMITOOL but
these use a new enough firmware that it will work in a modern browser.

HMC 7063-CR1 BMC - baseboard management controller.
The BMC is the baseboard management controller and provides the management and monitoring functions for the boot process and the OPAL hypervisor. It fulfills many of the functions that the ASMI provided on the other Power Systems servers.
So what does this all mean?
Is BMC required?
This didn't exist on the order HMCs, correct?
Thank You
