The
LAN Leash Lost
offset asserts when one of the two BMC LAN channels loses a previously
established link. It de-asserts when at least one LAN channel has a new link established after
the previous assertion. No action is taken if a link has never been established.
LAN Leash events do not affect the front panel system status LED.

Add-in Module Presence Sensor
Some server boards provide dedicated slots for add-in modules/boards (for example, SAS, IO,
and PCIe-riser). For these boards the BMC provides an individual presence sensor to indicate
whether the module/board is installed.
5.3.21
CMOS Battery Monitoring
The BMC monitors the voltage level from the CMOS battery, which provides backup battery to
the chipset RTC. This is monitored as an auto-rearm threshold sensor.
Unlike monitoring of other voltage sources for which the Emulex* Pilot III component
continuously cycles through each input, the voltage channel used for the battery monitoring
provides an SW enable bit to allow the BMC FW to poll the battery voltage at a relatively slow
rate in order to conserve battery power.

Embedded Web Server
BMC Base manageability provides an embedded web server and an OEM-customizable web
GUI which exposes the manageability features of the BMC base feature set. It is supported
over all on-board NICs that have management connectivity to the BMC as well as an optional
dedicated add-in management NIC. At least two concurrent web sessions from up to two
different users is supported. The embedded web user interface supports the following client
web browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0*
Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0*
Mozilla Firefox 24*
Mozilla Firefox 25*
The embedded web user interface supports strong security (authentication, encryption, and
firewall support) since it enables remote server configuration and control. The user interface
presented by the embedded web user interface shall authenticate the user before allowing a
web session to be initiated. Encryption using 128-bit SSL is supported. User authentication is
based on user id and password.
The GUI presented by the embedded web server authenticates the user before allowing a web
session to be initiated. It presents all functions to all users but grays-out those functions that
the user does not have privilege to execute. For example, if a user does not have privilege to
power control, then the item shall be displayed in grey-out font in that user’s UI display. The
web GUI also provides a launch point for some of the advanced features, such as KVM and
