Overview of the Nuvoton BMC controller

The Nuvoton WPCM150 is a combined Baseboard Management Controller and 2D/VGA-
compatible Graphics Core with PCI interface, Virtual Media and Keyboard, and a Keyboard/
Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR) module.
The WPCM150 interfaces with the host system via a PCI interface to communicate with the
Graphics core. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote keyboard/mouse/virtual media
emulation. It also provides an LPC interface to control Super I/O functions and connects to
the network via an external Ethernet PHY module or shared NCSI connections.
The Nuvoton BMC communicates with onboard components via six SMBus interfaces, fan
control, Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) buses, and General Purpose I/O (T-
SGPIO) ports.
It also includes the following features:

There are two different versions of the Nuvoton BMC chip that are used in this product series.
The Nuvoton WPCM150 (Manufacturer P/N WPCM150GA0BX5) which includes all of the
features above, is the chip installed in the X8SIL motherboard. Another version, the Nuvoton
WPCM450 (Manufacturer P/N WPCM450RA0BX) also has all the features as described above
plus IPMI 2.0 support. This particular chip is installed in the X8SIL-F and X8SIL-V models.
However, IPMI is supported only on the X8SIL-F motherboard.

RAID disaster recovery

A failure of multiple disks (offline - status) happens in different ways that involve various,
sometimes unusual methods to restore the RAID system. Normally, the cache of the RAID
disks should be set to "write through" if no UPS is active, and the controller be buffered by a
battery, when controller cache is set to "write back". Nevertheless, both caches have a great
influence on the RAID performance.
