Intel® Server Board S2600CP and Server System P4000CP TPS Intel® Server Board S2600CP and Intel® Server System P4000CP Platform Management LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and so on) by the BMC's Embedded Web UI. LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any NIC configured for system management. The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation for Linux. Only open LDAP is supported by BMC. Windows and Novel LDAP are not supported. 6.5 Advanced Management Feature Support This section explains the advanced management features supported by the BMC firmware. 6.5.1 Enabling Advanced Management Features The Advanced management features are to be delivered as part of the BMC FW image. The BMC's baseboard SPI flash contains code/data for both the Basic and Advanced features. An optional add-in card Intel® RMM4 lite is used as the activation mechanism. When the BMC FW initializes, it attempts to access the Intel® RMM4 lite. If the attempt to access Intel® RMM4 lite is successful, then the BMC activates the Advanced features. Advanced manageability features are supported over all NIC ports enabled for server manageability. This includes baseboard NICs as well as the LAN channel provided by the optional Dedicated NIC add-in card. RMM4 is comprised of two boards - RMM4 lite and the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC (DMN). If the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC is not used then the traffic can only go through the onboard Integrated BMC-shared NIC and share network bandwidth with the host system. Table 25.

Intel® Remote Management Module 4 Package includes 2 modules - 1 - key for advance features 2 - Dedicated NIC (1Gbe) for management No dedicated NIC for management Enables KVM and media redirection by onboard NIC Dedicated NIC for management traffic, KVM and media Redirection. 6.5.2 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is only enabled when the Intel® RMM4 lite is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets. Revision 1.2 83 Intel order number G26942-003

Advanced Management Feature Support
This section explains the advanced management features supported by the BMC firmware.
6.5.1
Enabling Advanced Management Features
The
Advanced
management features are to be delivered as part of the BMC FW image. The
BMC’s baseboard SPI flash contains code/data for both the
Basic
and
Advanced
features. An
optional add-in card Intel
®
RMM4 lite is used as the activation mechanism. When the BMC FW
initializes, it attempts to access the Intel
®
RMM4 lite. If the attempt to access Intel
®
RMM4 lite is
successful, then the BMC activates the
Advanced
features.
Advanced
manageability features are supported over all NIC ports enabled for server
manageability. This includes baseboard NICs as well as the LAN channel provided by the
optional Dedicated NIC add-in card.
RMM4 is comprised of two boards – RMM4 lite and the optional Dedicated Server Management
NIC (DMN). If the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC is not used then the traffic can
only go through the onboard Integrated BMC-shared NIC and share network bandwidth with the
host system.

Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This
feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is
only enabled when the Intel
®
RMM4 lite is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.
