Remote Management Module 4
Package includes 2 modules –
1 - key for advance features
2 - Dedicated NIC (1Gbe) for management
Dedicated NIC for management traffic. Higher bandwidth
connectivity for KVM & media Redirection with 1Gbe NIC.
If the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC is not used then the traffic can only go through the onboard
Integrated BMC-shared NIC and will share network bandwidth with the host system. Advanced manageability
features are supported over all NIC ports enabled for server manageability.
7.1 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This feature is available
remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is only enabled when the Intel
®
RMM4
lite is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or later to run the
KVM or media redirection applets.
The BMC supports an embedded KVM application (Remote Console) that can be launched from the
embedded web server from a remote console. USB1.1 or USB 2.0 based mouse and keyboard redirection are
supported. It is also possible to use the KVM-redirection (KVM-r) session concurrently with media-redirection
(media-r). This feature allows a user to interactively use the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions of
the remote server as if the user were physically at the managed server. KVM redirection console support the
following keyboard layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian,
Russian, and Spanish.
KVM redirection includes a “soft keyboard” function. The “soft keyboard” is used to simulate an entire
keyboard that is connected to the remote system. The “soft keyboard” functionality supports the following
layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
The KVM-redirection feature automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture and
provides high-performance mouse tracking and synchronization. It allows remote viewing and configuration in
pre-boot POST and BIOS setup, once BIOS has initialized video.
Other attributes of this feature include:
• Encryption of the redirected screen, keyboard, and mouse
• Compression of the redirected screen.
• Ability to select a mouse configuration based on the OS type.
• supports user definable keyboard macros.
KVM redirection feature supports the following resolutions and refresh rates:
• 640x480 at 60Hz, 72Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz, 100Hz
• 800x600 at 60Hz, 72Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz
• 1024x768 at 60Hx, 72Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz
• 1280x960 at 60Hz
• 1280x1024 at 60Hz
• 1600x1200 at 60Hz
• 1920x1080 (1080p),
• 1920x1200 (WUXGA)
