Relion 1900e/2900e Manual
59 Revision 1.3
o
LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol (RMCP, RMCP+)

Serial-over-LAN (SOL)

ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by the BIOS.

BMC self-test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests and makes results available to
external entities.
See also the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0.
7.1.2 Non IPMI Features Overview
The BMC supports the following non-IPMI features.

In-circuit BMC firmware update

Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality.

Chassis intrusion detection (dependent on platform support)

Fan speed control with SDR

Fan redundancy monitoring and support

Enhancements to fan speed control.

Power supply redundancy monitoring and support

Hot-swap fan support

Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles

Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting platform signal states.

The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.

System GUID storage and retrieval

Front panel management: The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID LED. It supports secure
lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button presses. The chassis ID LED is turned on
using a front panel button or a command.

Power state retention

Power fault analysis

Intel ® Light-Guided Diagnostics

Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The BMC handles power-good dropout
conditions.

DIMM temperature monitoring: New sensors and improved acoustic management using closed-loop fan
control algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The BMC sends and responds to ARPs (supported on embedded
NICs).

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The BMC can act as a DHCP client on all on-board LAN
interfaces

Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support

E-mail alerting

Support for embedded web server UI in Basic Manageability feature set.

Enhancements to embedded web server
o
Human-readable SEL
o
Additional system configurability
o
Additional system monitoring capability
o
Enhanced on-line help
