Chapter 4 | Trenton Smart System Management (Trenton SSM)
The Smart System Management (SSM) software embedded in the MBC8240 is accessible via the dedicated
management Ethernet LAN (Lnk 0). This dedicated interface provides full Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T bandwidth
and, optionally, isolation of these functions to a specific LAN. Trenton’s SSM is built upon the industry standard
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and its related sub-components including:
• Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB)
• IPMI Platform Management FRU Information Storage Definition
• Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB)
Trenton SSM’s implementation of IPMI provides seamless and efficient out-of-band management and control
capability from any compatible device worldwide, regardless of the power-on state and is operating system-agnostic.
A short list of Trenton SSM application software functionality includes:
• Fan speed monitoring
• Fan condition & status
• Alarm monitoring
• FRU management
• Voltage monitoring
• SBC present
• Remote messaging (i.e. call home)
• Polling for processor & memory health
The “intelligence” behind Trenton SSM is the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). It is driven by firmware
that is capable of being upgraded locally or remotely. Management can be done inside a Linux or Windows
®
operating system environment locally or remotely, via software issued under license from American Megatrends
Inc. (AMI) for AMI’s Yet Another Firmware Upgrade Flash (YAFUFlash) tool. Additional information about
YAFUFlash and its implementation in the MBT8301 is available in the MBC8240 BIOS and Trenton Smart System
Management Technical Reference Document.
