Enabling Advanced Manageability Features
The Advanced management features are to be delivered as part of the BMC FW image. The
BMC’s baseboard SPI flash contains code/data for both the Basic and Advanced features. An
optional module Intel
®
RMM4 Lite is used as the activation mechanism. When the BMC FW
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.

4.12.1.1
Keyboard, Video, and 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
enabled when the Intel
®
RMM4 Lite is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 5.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.
The Integrated 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.
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.
