Depending on the overall set up of the system, the SMDC could initialize and
communicate with other PMC/EMC residing on the same IPMB bus. Simply connect
the devices to the designated IPMB connector. Available PMC/EMC options include:
•
Satellite controller - SCSI RAID controller unit
•
Power supply - power supply unit that has a hardware monitoring chip inside

Remote Console Redirection over LAN
Remote Console Redirect over LAN
Remote Console Redirection allows IT managers to effectively control and maneuver
text console of a remote machine. Serial console information goes through the
M3289/M3290 SMDC and is processed over the network. TSO software then
reproduces the exact text console at a remote location. For example, someone may
own a group of servers at a remote location and could change options of those servers
from a completely separate location. Another example is that one may log in to the
Linux serial console through M3289/M3290 SMDC over the network.
See SMDC installation section for details.
Sensor Data Record (SDR)
Each sensor has its own corresponding characteristics. They are built according to
IPMI standard to provide users the most information possible about a sensor. Details
such as measuring units and calibration factors are available while they are not
provided in traditional hardware monitoring systems.
SDR is specific to motherboard. Tyan provides a utility to easily upgrade the BMC
firmware to support each motherboard model.
System Event Log (SEL)
A complete history of system events such as POST events are stored and secured in
non-volatile memory. Critical events within the server detected by the BMC are
