Platform Management Intel®Server Board S5500BC TPS 4.2.2 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection over LAN. This feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is only enabled when the RMM3 is present.  Keyboard and Mouse The keyboard and mouse are emulated by the BMC as USB human interface devices.  Video Video output from the KVM subsystem is equivalent to the video output on the local console. Video redirection is available from the point video is initialized by the system BIOS.  Availability Up to two remote KVM sessions are supported. The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes, but may be changed through the embedded web server. Remote KVM activation does not disable the local system keyboard, video, or mouse. Remote KVM is not deactivated by local system input, unless the feature is disabled locally. KVM sessions will persist across system reset, but not across an AC power loss. 4.2.3 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. This feature is only enabled when the RMM3 is present. The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users to mount a remote IDE or USB CD-ROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a USB 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 the BIOS, and so forth) or boot the server from this device. USB 2.0 needs to be supported for better performance. 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 useable in parallel.  Either IDE (CD-ROM or floppy) or USB devices can be mounted as a remote device to the server.  It is possible to boot all supported priority one operating systems such as Microsoft Windows* and Linux* operating systems from the remotely mounted device and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) files.  It is possible to mount at least two devices concurrently. 48 Intel order number: E42249-009 Revision 1.8

It is possible to boot all supported priority one operating systems such as Microsoft
Windows* and Linux* operating systems from the remotely mounted device and to boot
from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) files.
It is possible to mount at least two devices concurrently.
