Platform Management Functional Overview Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS  Display of processor and memory information as is available over IPMI over LAN.  Ability to get and set Node Manager (NM) power policies.  Display of power consumed by the server.  Ability to view and configure VLAN settings.  Warn user the reconfiguration of IP address will cause disconnect.  Capability to block logins for a period of time after several consecutive failed login attempts. The lock-out period and the number of failed logins that initiates the lock-out period are configurable by the user.  Server Power Control - Ability to force into Setup on a reset. 6.10.14 Virtual Front Panel  Virtual Front Panel is the module present as "Virtual Front Panel" on the left side in the embedded web server when "remote Control" tab is clicked.  Main Purpose of the Virtual Front Panel is to provide the front panel functionality virtually.  Virutal Front Panel (VFP) will mimic the status LED and Power LED status and Chassis ID alone. It is automatically in sync with BMC every 40 seconds.  For any abnormal status LED state, Virtual Front Panel will get the reason behind the abnormal or status LED changes and displayed in VFP side.  As Virtual Front Panel uses the chassis control command for power actions. It won't log the Front button press event since Logging the front panel press event for Virtual Front Panel press will mislead the administrator.  For Reset from Virtual Front Panel, the reset will be done by a "Chassis control" command.  For Reset from Virtual Front Panel, the restart cause will be because of "Chassis control" command.  During Power action, Power button/Reset button should not accept the next action until current Power action is complete and the acknowledgment from BMC is received.  EWS will provide a valid message during Power action until it completes the current Power action.  The VFP does not have any effect on whether the front panel is locked by "Set Front Panel Enables" command.  The chassis ID LED provides a visual indication of a system being serviced. The state of the chassis ID LED is affected by the following actions:  Toggled by turning the chassis ID button on or off.  There is no precedence or lock-out mechanism for the control sources. When a new request arrives, previous requests are terminated. For example, if the chassis ID button is pressed, then the chassis ID LED changes to solid on. If the button is pressed again, then the chassis ID LED turns off.  Note that the chassis ID will turn on because of the original chassis ID button press and will reflect in the Virtual Front Panel after VFP sync with BMC. Virtual Front Panel won't reflect the chassis LED software blinking from software command as there is no mechanism to get the chassis ID Led status.  Only Infinite chassis ID ON/OFF from software command will reflect in EWS during automatic /manual EWS sync up with BMC.  Virtual Front Panel help should available for virtual panel module.  At present, NMI button in VFP is disabled in Intel® S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms. It can be used in future. 6.10.15 Embedded Platform Debug The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable MSRs, PCI config-space registers, and so on). This feature allows a user to export this data into a file that is retrievable from the embedded web GUI, as well as through host and remote IPMI 72 Revision 1.1 Intel order number G24881-004
