As Virtual Front Panel
uses the chassis control command for power actions. It won’t log
the Front button press event since Logging the front panel press event for Virtual Front
Panel press will mislead the administrator.
For Reset from Virtual Front Panel
, the reset will be done by a “Chassis control” command.
For Reset from Virtual Front Panel, the restart cause will be
because of “Chassis control”
command.
During Power action, Power button/Reset button should not accept the next action until
current Power action is complete and the acknowledgment from BMC is received.
EWS will provide a valid message during Power action until it completes the current Power
action.
The VFP does not have any effect on whether the front panel is locked by
“Set Front Panel
Enables” command.
The chassis ID LED provides a visual indication of a system being serviced. The state of
the chassis ID LED is affected by the following actions:
Toggled by turning the chassis ID button on or off.
There is no precedence or lock-out mechanism for the control sources. When a new
request arrives, previous requests are terminated. For example, if the chassis ID button is
pressed, then the chassis ID LED changes to solid on. If the button is pressed again, then
the chassis ID LED turns off.
Note that the chassis ID will turn on because of the original chassis ID button press and
will reflect in the Virtual Front Panel after VFP sync with BMC. Virtual Front Panel
won’t
reflect the chassis LED software blinking by the software command as there is no
mechanism to get the chassis ID Led status.
Only Infinite chassis ID ON/OFF by the software command will reflect in EWS during
automatic /manual EWS sync up with BMC.
Virtual Front Panel help should available for virtual panel module.
At present, NMI button in VFP is disabled in Intel

S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server
Platforms. It can be used in future.

Embedded Platform Debug
The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable
MSRs, PCI config-space registers, and so on). This feature allows a user to export this data into
a file that is retrievable from the embedded web GUI, as well as through host and remote IPMI
methods, for the purpose of sending to an Intel engineer for an enhanced debugging capability.
The files are compressed, encrypted, and password protected. The file is not meant to be
viewable by the end user but rather to provide additional debugging capability to an Intel support
engineer.
4.5.3.20
Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)
The DCMI Specification is an emerging standard that is targeted to provide a simplified
management interface for Internet Portal Data Center (IPDC) customers. It is expected to
become a requirement for server platforms which are targeted for IPDCs. DCMI is an IPMI-
based standard that builds upon a set of required IPMI standard commands by adding a set of
DCMI-specific IPMI OEM commands. Intel
®
S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms will
be implementing the mandatory DCMI features in the BMC firmware (DCMI 1.1 Errata 1
compliance). Please refer to DCMI 1.1 errata 1 spec for details. Only mandatory commands will
be supported. No support for optional DCMI commands. Optional power management and SEL
roll over feature is not supported. DCMI Asset tag will be independent of baseboard FRU asset
