Server and Platform Management
The QSSC-S4R Server System Server Management consists of many embedded technologies. These
technologies are a combination of the following:
 Board instrumentation
 Sensors
 Interconnects
 Server management controllers
 Firmware algorithms
 System BIOS
The QSSC-S4R Server System board set platform management system is based on the IPMI 2.0 Specification.
The system includes the following major elements:
 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) with RTC access
 IPMI messaging, commands, and abstractions
 Sensors for status, voltage, temperature and fan speed
 Sensor Data Records (SDRs) and SDR repository
 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information and System Globally Unique ID (GUID)
 Autonomous event logging
 System Event Log (SEL) [3639 events]
 BMC watchdog timer, covering the BIOS and run-time software
 IPMI channels (LAN1 and LAN3), sessions, and users
 Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
 ICMB (Intelligent Chassis Management Bus) – IPMI messaging between chassis
 IPMI terminal mode support
 BIOS logging of POST progress and POST errors
 SNMP LAN Alerts and email alerting
