Specifications
Main Board Server Management QSSC-S4R Technical Product Specification
48
x System event log (SEL) device functionality: The BMC supports and provides access to a SEL.
x Sensor device record (SDR) repository device functionality: The BMC supports storage and access of system
SDRs.
x Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The BMC provides IPMI management of sensors. It polls sensors
to monitor and report system health.
x IPMI interface
x Host interfaces include system management software (SMS) with receive message queue support, and server
management mode (SMM).
x Terminal mode serial interface.
x IPMB interface.
x LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+).
x Serial-over-LAN (SOL).
x ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by the BIOS.
x BMC self test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests, and makes results available to external
entities.
3.1.2 Non IPMI Features
x In-circuit BMC firmware update.
x Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality.
x Chassis intrusion detection and chassis intrusion cable presence detection.
x Basic fan control using TControl version 2 SDRs.
x Fan redundancy monitoring and support.
x Power supply redundancy monitoring and support.
x Hot-swap fan support.
x Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles.
x Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting platform signal states.
x The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.
x System GUID storage and retrieval.
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 Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The BMC handles power-good dropout conditions.
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 ARP (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.
