Users Guide

5. Specify the following user privileges:
• Select the maximum LAN user privilege level limit.
• Select the maximum serial port user privilege granted.
6. Specify the User group for DRAC/iDRAC user privileges.
7. Click Apply Changes to save changes.
8. Click Back to Remote Access User Window to go back to the Remote Access Users window.
NOTE: Six additional user entries are congurable when DRAC is installed. This results in a total of 16 users. The
same username and password rules apply to BMC/iDRAC and RAC users. When DRAC/iDRAC6 is installed, all the 16
users entries are allocated to DRAC.
Setting Platform Event Filter Alerts
To congure the most relevant BMC features, such as Platform Event Filter (PEF) parameters and alert destinations using Server
Administrator Instrumentation Service:
1. Click the System object.
2. Click the Alert Management tab.
3. Click Platform Events.
The Platform Events window allows you to take individual action on specic platform events. You can select those events for
which you want to take shutdown actions and generate alerts for selected actions. You can also send alerts to specic IP
address destinations of your choice.
NOTE: You must be logged in with Administrator privileges to congure the BMC PEF Alerts.
NOTE: The Enable Platform Event Filters Alerts setting disables or enables PEF alert generation. It is independent of
the individual platform event alert settings.
NOTE: System Power Probe Warning and System Power Probe Failure are not supported on the PowerEdge
systems without PMBus support although Server Administrator allows you to congure them.
4. Choose the platform event for which you want to take shutdown actions or generate alerts for selected actions and click Set
Platform Events.
The Set Platform Events window allows you to specify the actions to be taken if the system is to be shut down in response to
a platform event.
5. Select one of the following actions:
• None
• Reboot System
Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup, performing BIOS checks and reloading the operating system.
• Power O System
Turns o the electrical power to the system.
• Power Cycle System
Turns the electrical power to the system o, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful
when you want to reinitialize system components such as hard drives.
• Power Reduction
Throttles the CPU.
CAUTION: If you select a Platform Event shutdown action other than None or Power Reduction, your system
shuts down forcefully when the specied event occurs. This shutdown is initiated by rmware and is done
without rst shutting down the operating system or any running applications.
NOTE: Power reduction is not supported on all systems. Power Supply Monitoring and Power Monitoring
features are available only for systems that have two or more redundant, hot-swappable power supplies installed.
These features are unavailable for permanently installed, non-redundant power supplies that lack power
management circuitry.
