Each Intel
®
Local Control Panel menu item has a specific target menu item for
handling the Intel
®
Local Control Panel Back button. The Intel
®
Local Control
Panel does not remember the previous menu item. Therefore, pressing the Back
button takes the menu item to the configured back target. Pressing the Back
button for more than half of a second will continue to take you to the parent menu,
until the main menu is reached, or you release the button.
Pressing the Enter button selects the currently highlighted item. This will either
present a new menu or execute a function. Pressing the Enter button for more
than half of a second will allow an administrator to set the access level for the
highlighted item.
Pressing the Up arrow button and the Enter button at the same time causes the Intel
®
Local
Control Panel to reset, as if a Cold Reset command was sent to the Intel
®
Local Control Panel
firmware.
7.2 Intel
®
Local Control Panel Monitor
The Intel
®
Local Control Panel monitor is a configurable display that will cycle through a preset
selection of Intel
®
Local Control Panel functions. These preset selections include the logo splash
screen, server name, and system time. The Intel
®
Local Control Panel monitor performs like a
screen saver to prevent the screen from getting images burned into it. The monitor is
configurable and can include Intel
®
Local Control Panel menu items, preset monitor functions, or
saved IPMI commands from the IPMI Message Library. The monitor has a fixed display rate of 5
seconds. The Intel
®
Local Control Panel automatically starts the monitor after about 5 minutes of
idle time.
The Enter button can be used as a pause key to stop the monitor. Pressing the Enter key a
second time re-starts a paused monitor.
