Platform Management Functional Overview Intel® Server Board S2600JF TPS As the server is powered up, the remote KVM session displays the complete BIOS boot process. The user is able interact with BIOS setup, change and save settings as well as enter and interact with option ROM configuration screens. At least two concurrent remote KVM sessions are supported. It is possible for at least two different users to connect to same server and start remote KVM sessions. 4.12.2 Media Redirection The embedded web server provides a Java applet to enable remote media redirection. This may be used in conjunction with the remote KVM feature, or as a standalone applet. The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users to mount a remote USB HDD or USB CD-ROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a remote device to the server. Once mounted, the remote device appears just like a local device to the server, allowing system administrators or users to install software (including operating systems), copy files, update BIOS, and so on, or boot the server from this device. The following capabilities are supported:  The operation of remotely mounted devices is independent of the local devices on the server. Both remote and local devices are usable in parallel.  It is possible to boot all supported operating systems from the remotely mounted device and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM ISO files. See the Tested/supported Operating System List for more information.  Media redirection shall support redirection for a minimum of two virtual devices concurrently with any combination of devices. As an example, a user could redirect two CD or two USB devices.  The media redirection feature supports multiple encryption algorithms, including RC4 and AES. The actual algorithm that is used is negotiated with the client based on the client's capabilities.  A remote media session is maintained even when the server is powered-off (in standby mode). No restart of the remote media session is required during a server reset or power on/off. An Integrated BMC reset (for example, due to an Integrated BMC reset after Integrated BMC firmware update) will require the session to be re-established  The mounted device is visible to (and usable by) managed system's OS and BIOS in both pre-boot and post-boot states.  The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.  It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal server (no OS present) using the remotely mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to configure the OS during install.  USB storage devices will appear as floppy disks over media redirection. This allows for the installation of device drivers during OS installation.  If either a virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, the virtual floppy is presented as a bootable device. It is not possible to present only a single-mounted device type to the system BIOS. 54 Revision 1.3 Intel order number G31608-004

Revision 1.3

As the server is powered up, the remote KVM session displays the complete BIOS boot
process. The user is able interact with BIOS setup, change and save settings as well as enter
and interact with option ROM configuration screens.
At least two concurrent remote KVM sessions are supported. It is possible for at least two
different users to connect to same server and start remote KVM sessions.
4.12.2
Media Redirection
The embedded web server provides a Java applet to enable remote media redirection. This may
be used in conjunction with the remote KVM feature, or as a standalone applet.
The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users to mount a
remote USB HDD or USB CD-ROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a remote device to the
server. Once mounted, the remote device appears just like a local device to the server, allowing
system administrators or users to install software (including operating systems), copy files,
update BIOS, and so on, or boot the server from this device.
The following capabilities are supported:
The operation of remotely mounted devices is independent of the local devices on the
server. Both remote and local devices are usable in parallel.
It is possible to boot all supported operating systems from the remotely mounted device
and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM ISO files. See the
Tested/supported Operating System List
for more information.
Media redirection shall support redirection for a minimum of two virtual devices
concurrently with any combination of devices. As an example, a user could redirect two
CD or two USB devices.
The media redirection feature supports multiple encryption algorithms, including RC4
and AES. The actual algorithm that is used is negotiated with the client based on the
client’s capabilities.
A remote media session is maintained even when the server is powered-off (in standby
mode). No restart of the remote media session is required during a server reset or power
on/off. An Integrated BMC reset (for example, due to an Integrated BMC reset after
Integrated BMC firmware update) will require the session to be re-established
The mounted device is visible to (and usable
by) managed system’s OS and BIOS in
both pre-boot and post-boot states.
The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the
BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.
It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal server (no OS present) using
the remotely mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to configure the
OS during install.
USB storage devices will appear as floppy disks over media redirection. This allows for
the installation of device drivers during OS installation.
If either a virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, the virtual floppy
is presented as a bootable device. It is not possible to present only a single-mounted
device type to the system BIOS.
