Platform event filtering (PEF) device functionality
Event receiver device functionality: The Integrated BMC receives and processes events
from other system subsystems.
Field replaceable unit (FRU) inventory device functionality: The Integrated BMC supports
access to system FRU devices using IPMI FRU commands.
System event log (SEL) device functionality: The Integrated BMC supports and provides
access to a SEL.
Sensor device record (SDR) repository functionality: The Integrated BMC supports
storage and access of system SDRs.
Sensor device and sensor scanning and monitoring: The Integrated BMC provides IPMI
management of system sensors. The Integrated BMC polls system sensors to monitor
and report system health. These sensors include soft sensors that are used for reporting
system state and events, and hardware sensor.
IPMI interfaces
- Host Interfaces – Includes SMS (with “receive message queue” support) and SMM
interfaces.
- Serial Interface – Direct Connect Serial (TMode only).
- IPMB Interface.
- LAN Interfaces – supports IPMI over LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+).
Serial over LAN (SOL)
ACPI state synchronization: The Integrated BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are
provided by the BIOS.
Integrated BMC self test: The Integrated BMC performs initialization and run-time self-
tests and makes results available to external entities.
See the IPMI Specification, Version 2.0 for more information on these features
.
4.1.2 Non-IPMI Features
This section lists non-IPMI feature support carried over from prior generation of servers.
Fault resilient booting (FRB) support. FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer
functionality.
Integrated BMC firmware update using firmware transfer mode operation.
Integrated BMC on-line update: An Integrated BMC rolling update supports a redundant
firmware image.
Power state retention
Chassis intrusion detection is supported on some systems.
FRU fault LED support – The Integrated BMC lights the server board LEDs to indicate
failed components.
ASF POST progress queuing: The Integrated BMC queues POST messages sent from
the BIOS and makes these accessible through IPMI interfaces.
Signal testing support: The Integrated BMC provides test commands for setting or
getting system signal states.
