Server Board S2600WP TPS Platform Management Functional Overview
o BMC self-test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests and makes
results available to external entities.
 See also the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second
Generation v2.0.
4.1.2
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.
