Intel Server Board S2400BB

Intel® Server Board S2400BB TPS

Revision 2.0

6.1.2 Non IPMI Features

The BMC supports the following non-IPMI features.

• In-circuit BMC firmware update

• BMC FW reliability enhancements:

o Redundant BMC boot blocks to avoid possibility of a corrupted boot block resulting in a scenario

that prevents a user from updating the BMC.

o BMC System Management Health Monitoring

• Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality.

• Enable/Disable of System Reset Due CPU Errors

• Chassis intrusion detection

• Fan speed control

• Fan redundancy monitoring and support

• Hot-swap fan support

• Power Supply Fan Sensors

• System Airflow Monitoring

• Exit Air Temperature Monitoring

• Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles

• Ethernet Controller Thermal Monitoring

• Global Aggregate Temperature Margin Sensor

• Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support

• Memory Thermal Management

• DIMM temperature monitoring: New sensors and improved acoustic management using closed-loop fan

control algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.

• Power supply redundancy monitoring and support

• Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The BMC handles power-good dropout

conditions.

• Intel

Intelligent Power Node Manager support

• Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting platform signal states.

• The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.

• System GUID storage and retrieval

• Front panel management: The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID LED. It supports

secure lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button presses. The chassis ID LED is

turned on using a front panel button or a command.

• Local Control Display Panel support

• Power state retention

• Power fault analysis

• Intel

Light-Guided Diagnostics

• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The BMC sends and responds to ARPs (supported on embedded

NICs).

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The BMC performs DHCP (supported on embedded

NICs).

• E-mail alerting

• Embedded web server
