Appendix I: SMDC Information
Overview
Tyan Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful yet cost-
efficient solution for high-end server management hardware packages. Tyan’s
goal is to provide remote system monitoring and control even when the
operating system is absence or simply fails. This empowers Tyan’s server
board with advanced industrial-standard features.
Tyan SMDC is a snap-in card that provides essential server management
solution. It enables any IT Manager by providing multi-interfaces to access the
hardware remotely and perform
monitor
,
control
and
diagnose
activities
effectively.
Tyan SMDC is not a peripheral card. Unlike regular peripheral card such as
AGP card, Network card or SCSI card, SMDC does not require any hardware
specific driver. As long as a standby power comes into the system, SMDC will
begin looking after the system.
Tyan SMDC provides diversified methods to communicate with the hardware. IT
manager has the flexibility to choose among
Keyboard Controller Style
(KCS),
Block Transfer
(BT) style, Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB),
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB), Emergency Management Port
(EMP) and standard IPMI-Over-LAN communication as defined in latest IPMI
1.5 specification.
Tyan SMDC is compatible with all IPMI-compliance software as well as Tyan
System Operator
TM
(TSO) software package.
By adding SMDC, Tyan’s server board becomes a highly manageable and IPMI
compatible system with all the advanced features suggesting in IPMI Spec.
