Server Management

SEL contents can be retrievedafter system failure for analysis by ﬁeld service personnel

using system management tools like Intel LANDesk Server Manager. Because the BMC

is powered by 5V_Standby, SEL (and SDRR) information is also available by way of the

interperipheral management bus (IPMB). An emergency management board like the

Intel LANDesk Server Monitor Module board can obtain the SEL and make it remotely

accessible using a LAN or telephone line connection. During monitoring, the BMC

performs the following functions:

• Processor board temperature and voltage monitoring

• Processor presence monitoring and FRB control

• Processor board fan failure detection and indicator control

• SEL interface management

• Sensor Data Record Repository (SDRR) interface management

• SDR/SEL timestamp clock

• Processor board Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information interface

• System management watchdog timer

• Periodic SMI timer

• Front panel NMI handling

• Event receiver

• ISA host and IPMB interface management

• Secure mode control, front panel lock/unlock initiation, and video blank and

diskette write protect monitoring and control

• Sensor event initialization agent

• Wake on LAN via Magic Packet support

• ACPI Support

• Emergency Management Port (EMP) support
