Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP Platform Management Functional Overview - BMC FW debug log (that is, SysLog) - Captures FW debug messages. - Non-volatile storage of captured data - Some of the captured data is stored persistently in the BMC's non-volatile flash memory and preserved across AC power cycles. Due to size limitations of the BMC's flash memory, it is not feasible to store all of the data persistently.  SMBIOS table data - The entire SMBIOS table is captured from the last boot.  PCI configuration data for on-board devices and add-in cards - The first 256 bytes of PCI configuration data is captured for each device for each boot.  System memory map - The system memory map is provided by BIOS on the current boot. This includes the EFI memory map and the Legacy (E820) memory map depending on the current boot.  Power supplies debug capability - Capture of power supply black box data and power supply asset information -Power supply vendors are adding the capability to store debug data within the power supply itself. The platform debug feature provides a means to capture this data for each installed power supply. The data can be analyzed by Intel for failure analysis and possibly provided to the power supply vendor as well. The BMC gets this data from the power supplied from the PMBus* manufacturer-specific commands. - Storage of system identification in power supply - The BMC copies board and system serial numbers and part numbers into the power supply whenever a new power supply is installed in the system or when the system is first powered on. This information is included as part of the power supply black box data for each installed power supply.  Accessibility through IPMI interfaces - The platform debug file can be accessed using an external IPMI interface (KCS or LAN).  POST code sequence for the two most recent boots - This is a best-effort data collection by the BMC as the BMC real-time response cannot guarantee that all POST codes are captured.  Support for multiple debug files -The platform debug feature provides the ability to save data to two separate files that are encrypted with different passwords. - File #1 is strictly for viewing by Intel engineering and may contain BMC log messages (that is, syslog) and other debug data that Intel FW developers deem useful in addition to the data specified in this document. - File #2 can be viewed by Intel partners who have signed an NDA with Intel and its contents are restricted to specific data items specified in this with the exception of the BMC syslog messages and power supply black box data. 6.11.15.1 Output Data Format The diagnostic feature outputs a password-protected compressed HTML file containing specific BMC and system information. This file is not intended for end-customer usage. This file is for customer support and engineering only. 6.11.15.2 Output Data Availability The diagnostic data is available on-demand from the embedded web server, KCS, or IPMI Over LAN commands.

Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP
Platform Management Functional Overview
-
BMC FW debug log (that is, SysLog) – Captures FW debug messages.
-
Non-volatile storage of captured data – Some of the captured data is stored
persistently in the BMC’s non-volatile flash memory and preserved across AC power
cycles. Due to size limitations of the BMC’s flash memory, it is not feasible to store
all of the data persistently.
SMBIOS table data – The entire SMBIOS table is captured from the last boot.
PCI configuration data for on-board devices and add-in cards – The first 256 bytes of
PCI configuration data is captured for each device for each boot.
System memory map – The system memory map is provided by BIOS on the current
boot. This includes the EFI memory map and the Legacy (E820) memory map
depending on the current boot.
Power supplies debug capability
-
Capture of power supply
black box
data and power supply asset information –Power
supply vendors are adding the capability to store debug data within the power supply
itself. The platform debug feature provides a means to capture this data for each
installed power supply. The data can be analyzed by Intel for failure analysis and
possibly provided to the power supply vendor as well. The BMC gets this data from
the power supplied from the PMBus* manufacturer-specific commands.
-
Storage of system identification in power supply – The BMC copies board and
system serial numbers and part numbers into the power supply whenever a new
power supply is installed in the system or when the system is first powered on. This
information is included as part of the power supply black box data for each installed
power supply.
Accessibility through IPMI interfaces – The platform debug file can be accessed using an
external IPMI interface (KCS or LAN).
POST code sequence for the two most recent boots – This is a best-effort data collection
by the BMC as the BMC real-time response cannot guarantee that all POST codes are
captured.
Support for multiple debug files –The platform debug feature provides the ability to save
data to two separate files that are encrypted with different passwords.
-
File #1 is strictly for viewing by Intel engineering and may contain BMC log
messages (that is, syslog) and other debug data that Intel FW developers deem
useful in addition to the data specified in this document.
-
File #2 can be viewed by Intel partners who have signed an NDA with Intel and its
contents are restricted to specific data items specified in this with the exception of
the BMC syslog messages and power supply
black box
data.
