4.1.1.2 Non-IPMI features
The BMC supports the following non-IPMI features. This list does not preclude support for future
enhancements or additions.
In-circuit BMC firmware updating
Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality.
Chassis intrusion detection (dependent on platform support)
Basic fan control using Control version 2 SDRs
Fan redundancy monitoring and support
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 powergood
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 performs DHCP (supported on
embedded NICs).
Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support
E-mail alerting
Embedded web server
Integrated KVM
Integrated Remote Media Redirection
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager support
