Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS Platform Management Functional Overview 6. Platform Management Functional Overview Platform management functionality is supported by several hardware and software components integrated on the server board that work together to control system functions, monitor and report system health, and control various thermal and performance features in order to maintain (when possible) server functionality in the event of component failure and/or environmentally stressed conditions. This chapter provides a high level overview of the platform management features and functionality implemented on the server board. For more in depth and design level Platform Management information, please refer the BMC Core Firmware External Product Specification (EPS) and BIOS Core External Product Specification (EPS) for Intel® Server products based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600,2600,1600 product families. 6.1 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Firmware Feature Support The following sections outline features that the integrated BMC firmware can support. Support and utilization for some features is dependent on the server platform in which the server board is integrated and any additional system level components and options that may be installed. 6.1.1 IPMI 2.0 Features  Baseboard management controller (BMC)  IPMI Watchdog timer  Messaging support, including command bridging and user/session support  Chassis device functionality, including power/reset control and BIOS boot flags support  Event receiver device: The BMC receives and processes events from other platform subsystems.  Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory device functionality: The BMC supports access to system FRU devices using IPMI FRU commands.  System Event Log (SEL) device functionality: The BMC supports and provides access to a SEL.  Sensor Data Record (SDR) repository device functionality: The BMC supports storage and access of system SDRs.  Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The BMC provides IPMI management of sensors. It polls sensors to monitor and report system health.  IPMI interfaces o Host interfaces include system management software (SMS) with receive message queue support, and server management mode (SMM) o IPMB interface o LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+)  Serial-over-LAN (SOL)  ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by the BIOS.  BMC self-test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests and makes results available to external entities. See also the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0. 6.1.2 Non IPMI Features The BMC supports the following non-IPMI features.  In-circuit BMC firmware update  BMC FW reliability enhancements: Revision 2.0 51

Platform Management Functional Overview

Platform management functionality is supported by several hardware and software components integrated on

the server board that work together to control system functions, monitor and report system health, and control

various thermal and performance features in order to maintain (when possible) server functionality in the event

of component failure and/or environmentally stressed conditions.

This chapter provides a high level overview of the platform management features and functionality

implemented on the server board.

6.1

Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Firmware Feature Support

The following sections outline features that the integrated BMC firmware can support. Support and utilization

for some features is dependent on the server platform in which the server board is integrated and any

additional system level components and options that may be installed.

6.1.1

IPMI 2.0 Features



Baseboard management controller (BMC)



IPMI Watchdog timer



Messaging support, including command bridging and user/session support



Chassis device functionality, including power/reset control and BIOS boot flags support



Event receiver device: The BMC receives and processes events from other platform subsystems.



Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory device functionality: The BMC supports access to system FRU

devices using IPMI FRU commands.



System Event Log (SEL) device functionality: The BMC supports and provides access to a SEL.



Sensor Data Record (SDR) repository device functionality: The BMC supports storage and access of

system SDRs.



Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The BMC provides IPMI management of sensors. It

polls sensors to monitor and report system health.



IPMI interfaces

Host interfaces include system management software (SMS) with receive message queue

support, and server management mode (SMM)

IPMB interface

LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+)



Serial-over-LAN (SOL)



ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by the BIOS.



BMC self-test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests and makes results available to

external entities.
