Appendix III: SMDC Information
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 es sential 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 powered by an intelligent controller known as Baseboard Management Control
(BMC). BMC is a standalone mini - CPU and runs on its own Real Time Operating System
(RTOS) to complete all different kinds of tasks. Backed Renesas’ H 8 technology, IT manager
can rest assure his server machines are always taken care.
Tyan SMDC is not a peripheral card. Unlike an AGP card, Network card or SCSI card, t h e
SMDC does not require any hardware specific driver. As long as a standby power comes into
the system, the SMDC will be active on the system.
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 Specifications.
