Server Management Summary The server management system features a Board Management Controller (BMC), which autonomously monitors server status and provides the interface to server management control functions. This controller is responsible for controlling system power, resets, monitoring voltages, temperatures, fans, and communicating with secondary controllers on its Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB). Detailed server management tool information and supported operating system information is contained in the Intel Server Control Installation (ISC) Guide For the cc2300 & cc3300 Carrier Grade Server. ISC is a server management tool that provides real time monitoring and alerting for server hardware, emergency remote management and remote server setup. The functions of each controller are summarized in the following sections. Board Management Controller (BMC) The BMC on the server board provides server management monitoring capabilities.

Server Management Summary
The server management system features a Board Management Controller (BMC), which
autonomously monitors server status and provides the interface to server management control
functions.
This controller is responsible for controlling system power, resets, monitoring voltages,
temperatures, fans, and communicating with secondary controllers on its Intelligent Platform
Management Bus (IPMB).
Detailed server management tool information and supported operating system information is
contained in the Intel Server Control Installation (ISC) Guide For the cc2300 & cc3300 Carrier
Grade Server. ISC is a server management tool that provides real time monitoring and alerting for
server hardware, emergency remote management and remote server setup.
The functions of each controller are summarized in the following sections.
Board Management Controller (BMC)
The BMC on the server board provides server management monitoring capabilities.
Associated
with the BMC is a flash memory that holds the operational code, sensor data records (SDR), and
system event log (SEL).
A serial EEPROM holds the BMC configuration defaults and field
replaceable unit (FRU) information.
The BMC supports the following:
•
Server board voltage monitoring
•
Fan failure detection
•
Fan speed control
•
Processor voltage monitoring
•
