Intel® Modular Server System TPS System Details accessible Server Control. The 10/100 Ethernet port on the front panel of the CMM provides the main interface to the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/MFSYS35. The CMM runs the Linux operating system in addition to the built-in server control GUI application. Through the GUI, the customer can configure and manage any system component. Refer to the Intel® Modular Server System User Guide for more details on how to manage the system. The CMM monitors platform management events and logs their occurrence. This includes events such as over-temperature and over-voltage conditions, fan failures, and so on. The CMM also provides the interface to this monitored information so that system management software can poll and retrieve the present status of the platform. The following is a list of the major functions of the CMM: ƒ System power control o Storage controllers o Ethernet switch modules o Compute modules ƒ System initialization ƒ System fan management ƒ System Event Log (SEL) interface ƒ FRU inventory ƒ Event message generation and reception ƒ Serial over LAN (SOL) ƒ Sensor monitoring o Temperature o Voltage o Fan speed o Processor status o Power supplies ƒ IPMB communication interface ƒ Checks and forces automatic update of firmware of newly installed system boards to versions stored in the SD (secure digital) card on the midplane. ƒ CMM GUI provides remote KVM to the compute modules ƒ External serial port connector for local/remote management access ƒ External Ethernet connector for local/remote management 3.6 Ethernet Switch Module 3.6.1 Introduction The Intel® Ethernet Switch Module (ESM) provides Ethernet connectivity for the CMM to the compute modules and for the compute modules to an external network.
