Overiew of the Hardware Health Function SDK

Overview of the Hardware
Health Function SDK

The MegaRAC™ Hardware Health Function SDK
(Software Development Kit) is used with the MegaRAC™
(Remote Access Companion) card. It offers you a way to
monitor the hardware and measure items such as the
temperature, voltage, fans and chassis information.

The SDK utility generates the data that can be flashed onto
the MegaRAC card’s firmware using separate applications
such as RacView, WebRacView, Control Panel Applet
Utility, and the Remote Flash Utility. In order for all
monitoring features to work, the card has to be connected
to the baseboard though the Feature Connector or Hobbs
Connector.

You can customize the system health monitoring properties
by using the SDK utility to create configurations that
define how to monitor the hardware. For example, you can
set warning and alert limits for the voltage or temperature
and save them in the configuration. The system then uses
the settings in the configuration to measure the voltage and
temperature.

This SDK utility cannot be used to change the graphical
user interface (GUI) of the console program. After the
firmware has been updated, the data can be viewed through
the desired remote console program. The remote console
program automatically finds the monitoring parameters and
displays them appropriately.
