Technical Product Specification
Intel® Server Board S1400FP TPS Platform Management Functional Overview
Revision 2.0 Intel order number G64246-003 71
6.12.9
Platform Event Filter (PEF)
The BMC includes the ability to generate a selectable action, such as a system power-off or
reset, when a match occurs to one of a configurable set of events. This capability is called
Platform Event Filtering, or PEF. One of the available PEF actions is to trigger the BMC to send
a LAN alert to one or more destinations.
The BMC supports 20 PEF filters. The first twelve entries in the PEF filter table are pre-
configured (but may be changed by the user). The remaining entries are left blank, and may be
configured by the user.

LAN Alerting
The BMC supports sending embedded LAN alerts, called SNMP PET (Platform Event traps),
and SMTP email alerts.
The BMC supports a minimum of four LAN alert destinations.
6.12.10.1 SNMP Platform Event Traps (PETs)
This feature enables a target system to send SNMP traps to a designated IP address by means
of LAN. These alerts are formatted per the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification Second Generation v2.0. A Modular Information Block (MIB) file associated with
the traps is provided with the BMC firmware to facilitate interpretation of the traps by external
software. The format of the MIB file is covered under RFC 2578.
