If these use the standard Intel EMP "remote front panel" protocol,
then the EMP code in VA-linux's VACmp works.
(Its perhaps the ugliest code I've ever seen, but it does work).

For 2U or smaller chassis, I find the serial-bios makes more sense
than a PC-weasel -- particularly if you want to use the PCI slots
for gigabit ethernet :).
