Using the Baseboard Management Controller 5

Intelligent Platform Management Interface

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) defines a set of standardized, message-

based interfaces that monitor system hardware health (fan speed, temperature, voltage, power

supply, etc.), control system components, and store data about important system events in a system

event log (SEL) for later examination. IPMI provides the foundation for remote platform

management.

Baseboard Management Controller

The key component in the IPMI system is the baseboard management controller (BMC), a

microcontroller located in the server’s motherboard. BMC is the “intelligence” within the IPMI

architecture, responsible for monitoring and controlling the system’s manageable devices.

The BMC is connected to the various sensors through the Intelligent Platform Management Bus

(IPMB), a subset of the I2C bus. System software communicates with BMC using a keyboard

controller style (KCS) interface.

BMC Key Features and Functions

Following are the supported features of the BMC:

• IPMI v2.0.

• Out-of-band monitoring and control for server management over LAN.

• Dedicated 10/100 NIC for remote management over a network.

• Information report including main board part number, product name, manufacturer, etc.

• Health status/hardware monitoring report.

• Events log, view, and clear.

• Event notification using chassis LED indicator and Platform Event Trap (PET).

• Platform Event Filtering (PEF) to take selected action for selected events, including non-

masking interrupt (NMI) and system management interrupt (SMI).

• Chassis management including power control and status report, front panel buttons, LED

control, Secure Mode, and Boot Option.

• Watchdog and auto server re-start and recovery.

• Multi-session user and alert destination for LAN channel.

• IPMB connector to enable advanced server management communication with BMC.

Watchdog and Automatic System Recovery

The BMC watchdog timer commands, as defined in the IPMI v2.0 specification, are part of the

Intelligent Platform Management Interface. The watchdog timer can restart, turn off, or cycle

power to your server in your absence to support automatic system recovery functions. If a

pre-set interval expires, the configured timer actions are executed and logged into SEL for later

examination. The timer commands are:

• System reset

• System power off

• System power cycle

• Host diagnostic interrupt

NOTE: The software that acquired and activated the watchdog timer is responsible for resetting the

timer countdown.

Virtual Storage

The firmware supports USB diskette, keyboard, mouse, and CD/DVD. These are supported as a

composite device. The USB keyboard and mouse traffic is bridged to the KVM connections.

Using the Web User Interface

The embedded console client provides KVM/IP functionality. The client is in the form of an

ActiveX control for the Windows

platform and an application for the Linux

platform.

NOTE: The application must be installed before completing the console redirection.

A web-based graphic user interface (GUI) is supported on the following browsers:

• Windows platforms: Internet Explorer

6.0 or later

• All platforms: Firefox 2.0017 or later

NOTE: Before using the Web user interface, ensure that the firewall settings are configured to enable

access to the following: KVM:7578, USB–CDROM:5120, and USB–Floppy:5123.

Logging into the Web User Interface

Enter the BMC-embedded server IP address or URL into the address bar of the web browser. The

BMC interface has a default of (DHCP\Static). Press the <F2> key to enter the system BIOS

setup and change these settings.

Remote Management Controller

The first time you access the Dell™ Remote Management Controller, you are prompted to enter a

user name and password. Use “root” as the default value for both.

NOTE: When you log in using the “root” user name and password, you have full administrative

privileges. It is suggested that you change the user name and password after signing in for the first time.

The remote management controller offers six menu selections:
