Platform Event Management Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC. The server is configured with the following set of standard events: • Temperature sensor out of range • Voltage sensor out of range • Fan failure • Chassis intrusion • Power supply failure • Memory error • POST error • Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure • Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the front panel switch • Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle • System restart (reboot) Alerts can take either of these forms: • Platform Event Pages - the BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging string. To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an external modem to the emergency management port (Serial B). • BMC LAN alerts - the BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN. You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the Server Configuration Wizard or the System Setup Utility. Emergency Management Port The emergency management port (EMP) refers to the use of the Serial B port, with either an external modem or direct serial connection, for remote management. The BMC controls the port and interfaces with remote access software, such as the Direct Platform Control or the Client System Setup Utility applications in Intel Server Management. You can configure the EMP by using the Server Configuration Wizard or the System Setup Utility. Description 23

Description

Platform Event Management
Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC.
The server is configured with the
following set of standard events:
•
Temperature sensor out of range
•
Voltage sensor out of range
•
Fan failure
•
Chassis intrusion
•
Power supply failure
•
Memory error
•
POST error
•
Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure
•
Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the front panel switch
•
Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle
•
System restart (reboot)
Alerts can take either of these forms:
•
Platform Event Pages
– the BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging string.
To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an external modem to the emergency
management port (Serial B).
•
BMC LAN alerts
– the BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN.
You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the Server Configuration Wizard or the
System Setup Utility.
Emergency Management Port
The emergency management port (EMP) refers to the use of the Serial B port, with either an
external modem or direct serial connection, for remote management.
The BMC controls the port
and interfaces with remote access software, such as the Direct Platform Control or the Client
System Setup Utility applications in Intel Server Management.
You can configure the EMP by using the Server Configuration Wizard or the System Setup Utility.
