Management Controller Intel server boards incorporate a baseboard management controller (BMC), which is a dedicated microcontroller for system management activities. The BMC performs the following functions: • Monitors system components and sensors, including processors, memory, fans, power supplies - Intel SE7501BR2 | Product Guide - Page 22
• Power supply failure • Memory error • POST error • Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure • Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the front panel switch • Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle • System restart (reboot) 22 Intel Server Board SE7501BR2 - Intel SE7501BR2 | Product Guide - Page 23

Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via the Server Manager Module or power control via the real time clock. 26 Intel Server Board SE7501BR2 Product Guide - Intel SE7501BR2 | Product Guide - Page 27
Password Protection The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system. Entering the user password permits the modification of the time, date, language, user password, and password on boot setup fields. When a user password is configured, the server can be booted into secure - Intel SE7501BR2 | Product Guide - Page 28
