New Manageability Features - Intel S1200BTS Specification

Platform Management

Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting
platform signal states.

The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.

System GUID storage and retrieval

Front panel management: The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID
LED. It supports secure lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button
presses. The chassis ID LED is turned on using a front panel button or a command.

Power state retention

Power fault analysis
®

Intel Light-Guided Diagnostics

Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The 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 BMC sends and responds to ARPs (supported
on embedded NICs).

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The BMC performs DHCP (supported on
embedded NICs).

Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support

E-mail alerting

Embedded web server

Integrated KVM.

Integrated Remote Media Redirection


New Manageability Features

This generation server products offer a number of changes and additions to the manageability
features that are supported on the previous generation of servers. The following is a list of the
more significant changes that are common to this generation servers:

Sensor and SEL logging additions / enhancements (e.g. additional thermal monitoring
capability, better isolation of faults to the FRU level)

Embedded platform debug feature which allows capture of detailed data for later
analysis by Intel

Provisioning and inventory enhancements:
o Signed Firmware (improved security)
o Inventory data / system information export (partial SMBIOS table)

Enhancements to fan speed control.

DCMI 1.0 compliance

Support for embedded web server UI in Basic Manageability feature set.

Enhancements to embedded web server
