ERVER ANAGEMENT OFTWARE 4.1 Server Management Software Server System Overview In a server system, BMC is an independent system of the host server system. This indepen- dent system has its own processor and memory; the host system can be managed by the BMC system even if the host hardware or OS hangs or is unable to function.
RONT ANEL NTERFACE Front Panel User Interface The BMC provides control panel interface functionality including indicators (Fault/status and Identify LEDs) and buttons (Power/ID). Power Button The Power buttons allow to control the system status. ID Button The control panel Chassis Identify button toggles the state of the Chassis ID LED. If the ID LED is off, then a button press will turn the LED on (blinking).
ERIAL Obtain Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information Obtain System Event Log (SEL) entries Obtain Sensor Data Records (SDR) Set Platform Event Filtering (PEF) Set LAN configurations In addition, the BMC supports LAN alerting in the form of SNMP traps that conform to the IPMI Platform Event Trap (PET) format.
