*1: When this item is changed to/from "Overwrite oldest SEL", all log records in the SEL Repository are cleared.

*2: However, even if you specify this setting, in the case that the Windows OS is started and ft control software

detects SEL area is filled fully, all SEL are deleted and new SEL is recorded again.
In addition, the contents of SEL is recorded to event log of Windows OS by ft control software, so back up event
log as needed according to your operation form.

*3: Disabling Platform Event Filter also disables SNMP alert.

*4: When BMC can be managed directly from NEC ESMPRO Manager (Ver.5.4 or later), this item must be set to

"Enable". If it is set to "Enable", Authentication Key is required.

*6: This Authentication key is used when NEC ESMPRO Manager (Ver.5.4 or later) manages the target server. Up

to 16 alphanumeric characters are accepted.

*7: If Redirection is set to "Enable", Console Redirection Configuration port in BIOS is set to "Serial Port B" at next

boot.

Note

If you do not use remote management feature by NEC ESMPRO, set to "Disable" for

ESMPRO Management in Management Software. In this case, settings for relevant items

are hidden and unnecessary.
