Technical Product Specification

Intel® Server Board S1600JP TPS Platform Management Functional Overview
based standard that builds upon a set of required IPMI standard commands by adding a set of
DCMI-specific IPMI OEM commands.
4.12.5
Lightweight Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol supported by the
Integrated BMC for the purpose of authentication and authorization.
The Integrated BMC user
connects with an LDAP server for login authentication.
This is only supported for non-IPMI
logins including the embedded web UI and SM-CLP. IPMI users/passwords and sessions are
not supported over LDAP.
LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and so on.) through the Integrated
BMC’s Embedded Web UI. LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any
NIC configured for system management. The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation
for Linux*.
4.12.6
Platform/Chassis Management
Within an IPMI 2.0 framework, the BMC Firmware provides functionality to support management
and control of several aspects of the platform operation.
This includes:
 Front Panel Support (for example, secure lock out of power and reset buttons and
System Status LED control)
 Hardware/Sensor Monitoring (for example, system voltages, thermal sensors, fans,
power supplies, and so on)
 Power/Reset Control and Monitoring (for example, local and remote power/reset
control and power restore policy)
 Hardware and Manufacturing Test Features
 Asset Inventory and System Identification (for example, system GUID and FRU
management)
 Thermal and Acoustics Management – The BMC firmware provides a comprehensive
set of fan control capabilities utilizing various system thermal sensors (for example, CPU,
DIMMs, and front panel thermal sensor).
Additionally, the BMC participates in the
memory CLTT by pushing dim thermal data to the iMC in the CPU.
 Power Management (Node Manager) Support – BMC firmware provides an external
(LAN) interface for a remote management console to communicate with the ME’s Node
Manager Functionality.
4.12.7
Thermal Control
The system shall support thermal management through open loop throttling (OLTT) or static
closed loop throttling (CLTT) of system memory based on availability of valid temperature
sensors on the installed memory DIMMs. The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) dynamically
changes throttling levels to cap throttling based on memory and system thermal conditions as
determined by the system and DIMM power and thermal parameters. CLTT on mixed-mode
DIMM populations is not supported (that is, some installed DIMMs have valid temp sensors and
some do not). The Integrated BMC fan speed control functionality is related to the memory
throttling mechanism used.
