 Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The Integrated BMC provides IPMI
management of sensors. It polls sensors to monitor and report system health.
 IPMI interfaces.
o Host interfaces include system management software (SMS) with receive
message queue support and server management mode (SMM).
o Terminal mode serial interface
o IPMB interface
o LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+)
 Serial-over-LAN (SOL)
 ACPI state synchronization: The Integrated BMC tracks ACPI state changes provided by
the BIOS.
 Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) self test: The Integrated
BMC performs initialization and run-time self tests, and makes results available to
external entities.
For more information, refer to the IPMI 2.0 Specification.
4.1.2 Non-IPMI Features
The Integrated BMC supports the following non-IPMI features. This list does not preclude
support for future enhancements or additions.
 In-circuit Integrated BMC firmware update.
 Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality
 Chassis intrusion detection and chassis intrusion cable presence detection.
 Basic fan control using TControl version 2 SDRs.
 Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles.
 Signal testing support: The Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated
BMC) provides test commands for setting and getting platform signal states.
 The Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) generates
diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.
 System GUID storage and retrieval.
 Front panel management: The Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated
BMC) controls the system status LED and chassis ID LED. It supports secure lockout of
certain front panel functionality and monitors button presses. The chassis ID LED is
turned on using a front panel button or a command.
 Power state retention
 Power fault analysis
 Intel
®
Light-Guided Diagnostics
 Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The Integrated Baseboard
Management Controller (Integrated BMC) handles power-good dropout conditions.
 DIMM temperature monitoring: New sensors and improved acoustic management using
closed-loop fan control algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.
 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The Integrated BMC sends and responds to ARPs
(supported on embedded NICs)
