Relion 1900e/2900e Manual
87 Revision 1.3
• Server Power Control - Ability to force into Setup on a reset
•
System POST results – The web server provides the system’s Power-On Self Test (POST)
sequence for the previous two boot cycles, including timestamps. The timestamps may be
displayed as a time relative to the start of POST or the previous POST code.
•
Customizable ports - The web server provides the ability to customize the port numbers used for
SMASH, http, https, KVM, secure KVM, remote media, and secure remote media..
9.3 Advanced Management Feature Support (RMM4 Lite)
The integrated baseboard management controller has support for advanced management features which are
enabled when an optional Intel ® Remote Management Module 4 Lite (RMM4 Lite) is installed. The Intel RMM4
add-on offers convenient, remote KVM access and control through LAN and internet. It captures, digitizes,
and compresses video and transmits it with keyboard and mouse signals to and from a remote computer.
Remote access and control software runs in the integrated baseboard management controller, utilizing
expanded capabilities enabled by the Intel RMM4 hardware.
Key Features of the RMM4 add-on are:
•
KVM redirection from either the dedicated management NIC or the server board NICs used for
management traffic; up to two KVM sessions
•
Media Redirection – The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users
to mount a remote IDE or USB CDROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a remote device to the
server. Once mounted, the remote device appears just like a local device to the server allowing
system administrators or users to install software (including operating systems), copy files, update
BIOS, or boot the server from this device.
• KVM – Automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture, high performance
mouse tracking and synchronization. It allows remote viewing and configuration in pre-boot POST
and BIOS setup.
9.3.1 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This feature is available
remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is only enabled when the Intel ® RMM4
Lite is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or later to run the
KVM or media redirection applets.
The BMC supports an embedded KVM application ( Remote Console ) that can be launched from the
embedded web server from a remote console. USB1.1 or USB 2.0 based mouse and keyboard redirection are
supported. It is also possible to use the KVM-redirection (KVM-r) session concurrently with media-redirection
(media-r). This feature allows a user to interactively use the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions of
the remote server as if the user were physically at the managed server. KVM redirection console supports the
following keyboard layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
KVM redirection includes a “soft keyboard” function. The “soft keyboard” is used to simulate an entire
keyboard that is connected to the remote system. The “soft keyboard” functionality supports the following
layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
