Intel® Server System SR1640TH TPS Functional Architecture 2.5 Platform Management The platform management subsystem is based on the Integrated BMC features of the ServerEngines* Pilot II. The onboard platform management subsystem consists of communication buses, sensors, system BIOS, and server management firmware. The following diagram provides an overview of the Server Management Bus (SMBUS) architecture used on this server board. 2.5.1 Feature Support 2.5.1.1 IPMI 2.0 Features Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated 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 Integrated BMC receives and processes events from other platform subsystems. Field replaceable unit (FRU) inventory device functionality: The Integrated BMC supports access to system FRU devices using IPMI FRU commands. System event log (SEL) device functionality: The Integrated BMC supports and provides access to a SEL. Sensor device record (SDR) repository device functionality: The Integrated BMC supports storage and access of system SDRs. Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The Integrated 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 Terminal mode serial interface o IPMB interface o LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+) Serial-over-LAN (SOL) ACPI state synchronization: The Integrated BMC tracks ACPI state changes provided by the BIOS. Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) self test: The Integrated BMC performs initialization and run-time self tests, and makes results available to external entities. For more information, refer to the IPMI 2.0 Specification. 2.5.1.2 Non-IPMI Features The Integrated BMC supports the following non-IPMI features. This list does not preclude support for future enhancements or additions. In-circuit Integrated BMC firmware update. Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality Chassis intrusion detection and chassis intrusion cable presence detection. Basic fan control using TControl version 2 SDRs. Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles. Signal testing support: The Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) provides test commands for setting and getting platform signal states.
