Platform Management Functional Overview Intel

Server Board S2600WP TPS
The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes, but may be changed through the embedded web
server. Remote KVM activation does not disable the local system keyboard, video, or mouse.
Remote KVM is not deactivated by local system input, unless the feature is disabled locally.
4.12.1.7
Usage
As the server is powered up, the remote KVM session displays the complete BIOS boot process.
The user is able interact with BIOS setup, change, and save settings as well as enter and
interact with option ROM configuration screens.
At least two concurrent remote KVM sessions are supported. It is possible for at least two
different users to connect to same server and start remote KVM sessions.
4.12.2
Media Redirection
The embedded web server provides a Java applet to enable remote media redirection. This may
be used in conjunction with the remote KVM feature, or as a standalone applet.
The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users to mount a
remote IDE or USB CD-ROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a remote device to the server.
Once mounted, the remote device appears just like a local device to the server, allowing system
administrators or users to install software (including operating systems), copy files, update BIOS,
and so on, or boot the server from this device.
The following capabilities are supported:
 The operation of remotely mounted devices is independent of the local devices on the
server. Both remote and local devices are useable in parallel.
 Either IDE (CD-ROM, floppy) or USB devices can be mounted as a remote device to
the server.
 It is possible to boot all supported operating systems from the remotely mounted device
and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM ISO files. See the
Tested/supported Operating System List for more information.
 Media redirection shall support redirection for a minimum of two virtual devices
concurrently with any combination of devices. As an example, a user could redirect two
CD or two USB devices.
 The media redirection feature supports multiple encryption algorithms, including RC4
and AES. The actual algorithm that is used is negotiated with the client based on the
client’s capabilities.
 A remote media session is maintained even when the server is powered-off (in standby
mode). No restart of the remote media session is required during a server reset or power
on/off. An Integrated BMC reset (for example due to an Integrated BMC reset after
Integrated BMC firmware update) will require the session to be re-established.
 The mounted device is visible to (and usable by) managed system’s OS and BIOS in
both pre-boot and post-boot states.
 The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the
BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.
