Hi Jeremy,

It depends on the motherboard.  Some motherboards may not support this
feature, so no software will be able to monitor it.  The ipmi-dcmi tool
could also provide this information to you, but only if the motherboard
vendor supports DCMI.  In FreeIPMI's ipmi-oem there are several power
consumption extensions that Dell has on their poweredge motherboards,
but they are only for Dell motherboards.

Hope that helps,

Al
