4.1.2 New Features
This section lists features that are being introduced on server boards that use the Intel
®
5000
Series Chipsets.
 Acoustic management – Improved acoustic levels are achieved by including support for
fan profiles using TControl ver2 SDRs.
 BMC timeclock sync with SIO RTC – At BMC startup, the BMC reads SIO RTC and
updates its internal timeclock to match.
 Chassis intrusion fan interactions – Fans go to high speed when chassis intrusion signal
is asserted. This is provided on platforms that have chassis intrusion support.
 Intel
®
Remote Management Module (Intel
®
RMM) support. This card utilizes its own
dedicated NIC (Intel
®
RMM NIC) to provide advanced server management features that
work in conjunction with the BMC. This support includes the following:
- BMC usage of Intel
®
RMM NIC via Fast Management Link (FML). The FML is used
as an extra NIC channel to the BMC. The BMC can support IPMI over LAN and SOL
using this interface.
- BMC forwarding of event log messages to the Intel
®
RMM.
4.2 Power System
The BMC is not directly in the system power control path but it does have the capability of
blocking power control actions due to front panel power button presses or chipset initiated
power state changes. It can generate power state changes by simulating a front panel power
button press. It monitors both the requested power state from the chipset and the actual power
good state.
