C Management processor and Special Administration Console This appendix describes the management processor (MP) and Special Administration Console (SAC), which you can use to monitor Windows installations and administer the system using a headless console. Management processor This section describes the management processor (MP). The MP provides access to the SAC console or the EFI Shell and enables you to configure a machine before installing the operating system and access the MP using the IP address specific to the MP. The MP controls power, reset, and Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities; provides console access and displays; records system events; and displays detailed information about the internal subsystems. The MP also provides a Virtual Front Panel you can use to monitor system status and the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions are available through the LAN and the local and remote RS-232 ports. From the MP Main Menu you can select from the following options: • Enter management processor command mode • Enter console • View event logs • View console history • Display Virtual Front Panel • Enter console session • Connect to another MP Accessing the MP To access the MP, you need to know its unique IP address. Enter the IP address for the MP in a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY. Connect to the MP using any of the following methods: • The local RS-232C port using a local terminal • The remote RS-232C port using external modem (dial-up) access if remote modem access is configured • The MP LAN port using the Web Console or telnet if login access through the MP LAN is enabled MP Commands This section provides an overview of the commands available through the MP and their function. BP - Resets BMC passwords. This command resets BMC passwords (both user and administrator passwords). CA - Configures local and remote serial port parameters. The local serial port parameters settings are as follows: • Baud rates. • Flow control: Hardware uses RTS/CTS; software uses Xon/Xoff. • Transmit configuration strings: Disable this setting whenever the modem being used is not compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA). IMPORTANT: Do not mix HP and VT100 terminal types. Set up the remote serial port parameters as follows: Management processor 89

C Management processor and Special Administration
Console
This appendix describes the management processor (MP) and Special Administration Console
(SAC), which you can use to monitor Windows installations and administer the system using a
headless console.
Management processor
This section describes the management processor (MP). The MP provides access to the SAC
console or the EFI Shell and enables you to configure a machine before installing the operating
system and access the MP using the IP address specific to the MP.
The MP controls power, reset, and Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities; provides console access
and displays; records system events; and displays detailed information about the internal
subsystems. The MP also provides a Virtual Front Panel you can use to monitor system status
and the state of front panel LEDs. All MP functions are available through the LAN and the local
and remote RS-232 ports.
From the MP Main Menu you can select from the following options:
•
Enter management processor command mode
•
Enter console
•
View event logs
•
View console history
•
Display Virtual Front Panel
•
Enter console session
•
Connect to another MP
Accessing the MP
To access the MP, you need to know its unique IP address. Enter the IP address for the MP in a
terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
Connect to the MP using any of the following methods:
•
The local RS-232C port using a local terminal
•
The remote RS-232C port using external modem (dial-up) access if remote modem access is
configured
•
The MP LAN port using the Web Console or telnet if login access through the MP LAN is
enabled
MP Commands
This section provides an overview of the commands available through the MP and their function.
BP
— Resets BMC passwords. This command resets BMC passwords (both user and administrator
passwords).
CA
— Configures local and remote serial port parameters.
The local serial port parameters settings are as follows:
•
Baud rates.
•
Flow control: Hardware uses RTS/CTS; software uses Xon/Xoff.
•
Transmit configuration strings: Disable this setting whenever the modem being used is not
compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA).
IMPORTANT:
Do not mix HP and VT100 terminal types.
Set up the remote serial port parameters as follows:
