 Misc. Status: This display includes the following items: Chassis Open, FP Locked Out,

Drive Fault and Cooling/Fan Fault. An Assert icon in any of the options here indicates

that a particular status has been asserted. For example, if the chassis was open, then

the icon would indicate this by showing the Assert icon for the Chassis Open option.

Otherwise all the statuses will display the Deassert icon.

8.4 Server Control

This menu contains options for selecting one-time boot devices, performing system power

control and issuing standard IPMI commands in a raw HEX format.

8.4.1 Force Boot Menu

This menu item uses the IPMI Set System Boot Options command to select a one-time boot

device.

After selecting a boot device from the sub menu, the Intel

Local Control Panel immediately

moves to the Hard Reset option of the Power Control sub-menu. The power control option for

the system must be selected and the power action must be completed within 45 seconds or the

selected boot flag will expire.

Note: Supported boot devices/options using this feature are platform-dependent. Some boot

options may be available for your server platform. The boot device options may include the

following:

 PXE: Boot from the network using PXE

 Default HD: Boot from the default hard disk drive

 Default CD/DVD: Boot from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive

 BIOS Setup: Boot to the BIOS F2 setup screen

 Floppy: Boot from floppy

8.4.2 Power Control Menu

Power Control is the parent menu for all power control options. This menu can be entered either

by navigating from the Server Control parent menu, or after selecting a Force Boot option.

When using the Back button, this menu returns to the Server Control parent menu, regardless

of the menu that was used to enter this menu option.

 Power On: This menu option issues a Chassis Control command to power on the

server. This item appears regardless of the power state of the server. A Power On

command sent while the server is already powered on is ignored.

 Soft Reset: This menu option issues a command to Intel

System Management software

to attempt to gracefully reset the system. This menu option requires a full, functional

installation of either Intel Server Management 8.x or Intel System Management Software

1.x. A Soft Reset command sent without a full, functional installation of this software is

ignored.

 Hard Reset: This menu option issues a Chassis Control command to reset the server.

This triggers an immediate reset of the server. If this option is selected while the server

is powered off, this command is ignored.
