Intel® Server Board S3420GP TPS
Platform Management
Revision 2.4
Intel order number E65697-010

Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The Integrated Baseboard
Management Controller (Integrated BMC) handles power-good 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 Integrated BMC sends and responds to ARPs
(supported on embedded NICs)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The Integrated BMC performs DHCP
(supported on embedded NICs).
Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support.

Optional Advanced Management Feature Support
This section explains the advanced management features supported by the Integrated
Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) firmware.
4.2.1
Enabling Advanced Management Features
The Integrated BMC enables the advanced management features only when it detects the
presence of the Intel
®
Remote Management Module 3 (Intel
®
RMM3) card. Without the Intel
®
RMM3, the advanced features are dormant. Only the Intel
®
Server Board S3420GPLX has a
RMM3 module interface.
4.2.1.1 Intel
®
RMM3
The Intel
®
RMM3 provides the Integrated BMC with an additional dedicated network interface.
The dedicated interface consumes its own LAN channel. Additionally, the Intel
®
RMM3 provides
additional flash storage for advanced features like Web Services for Management (WS-MAN).
4.2.2
Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The Integrated BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection over LAN. This
feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is
enabled only when the Intel
®
RMM3 is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 5.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.
4.2.2.1 Keyboard
and
Mouse
The keyboard and mouse are emulated by the Integrated BMC as USB human interface devices.
4.2.2.2 Video
Video output from the KVM subsystem is equivalent to the video output on the local console.
Video redirection is available after video is initialized by the system BIOS. The KVM video
resolution and refresh rates will always match the values set in the operating system.
