Specifications

QSSC-S4R Technical Product Specification Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
249
x Front panel management: The 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.
x Power state retention.
x Power fault analysis.
x Intel® Light-Guided Diagnostics.
x Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The BMC handles power-good dropout conditions.
x Memory Power Good Monitoring
x DIMM temperature monitoring: New sensors and improved acoustic management using closed-loop fan control
algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.
x Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The BMC sends and responds to ARPs (supported on embedded NICs)
x Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The BMC performs DHCP (supported on embedded NICs).
x Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support.
x E-mail alerting.
x Embedded web server.
x Integrated KVM.
x Integrated Remote Media Redirection.
x Local Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support.
x Node Management support.
