Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.4 Intel order number G34153-004 81
initializes, it attempts to access the Intel
®
RMM4 lite. If the attempt to access Intel
®
RMM4 lite is
successful, then the BMC activates the Advanced features.
Advanced manageability features are supported over all NIC ports enabled for server
manageability. This includes baseboard NICs as well as the LAN channel provided by the
optional Dedicated NIC add-in card.
RMM4 is comprised of two boards – RMM4 lite and the optional Dedicated Server Management
NIC (DMN). If the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC is not used then the traffic can
only go through the onboard Integrated BMC-shared NIC and share network bandwidth with the
host system.

4.7.2 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 the 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.
