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 reference 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 E5-2400 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

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.
