Using the BMC (BMC Server Engine Pilot 2)
The baseboard management controller is a hardware interface powered by the ServerEngines Pilot II controller
found on the I/O Riser. The baseboard management interface may be accessed through the dedicated RMM3
LAN port which provides keyboard / video / mouse (KVM) functionality. For more information about the
ServerEngines Pilot II controller see the Server Management Controller (Pilot-II) Hardware Specifications &
Programmers Reference Guide.
