Question: Why can I not discover the SMDC card?
Solution: There may be many reasons why the SMDC card is not located:
Check the SMDC light. Make sure that when the computer is on it is in "power
on" status (light continually on and not flashing). This assures that the SMDC
firmware is functioning properly. When the computer is off the light should be
flashing. If it is not flashing, you may need to reset the comes (2 pins next to
the battery).
Use Util.exe in DOS mode to check IP and MAC address. Make sure they are
set correctly on the SMDC card.
Check the setting of "discovery" in Console tool menu. Assure that the IP
addresses are within the range indicated. Also make sure this function is
enabled.
Use Util.exe in DOS mode to assure that the firmware version and board
model are correct. If you do not have the correct firmware you may need to
download it from the TYAN SMDC ftp site.
Make sure the correct SMDC firmware for the Broadcom Lan chip is flashed.
Also assure you are using the correct NIC port which is supported for this
board.
Read "Readme" first and also use Util.exe to enable ARP broadcast.
Question: Does SMDC support the ARP protocol?
Solution: Yes, SMDC supports the Gratuitous ARP and broadcasts the ARP package
periodically. To reduce the junk package on LAN, we disable it as default setting.
However, users can use Util.exe to enable or disable it. Firmware above revision 1.72
and Util.exe above build 172 support this function.
Question: What are the password and user name for protected SMDC firmware?
Solution:
For out of Band –
Administrator, Callback, User and Null (blank)". Use Util.exe to set this password. You
can change this password using the remote console function 'Change Password'. The
username and password are case-sensitive.
For in band –Log into the monitored system using a valid username and password as
required by the respective operating system.
Question: How can I use SMDC function before OS is installed and running?
Solution: Follow the steps below:
1. Connect the AC power.
2. Boot the system into BIOS and shutdown the BIOS – this step only need to be done
once after one SMDC is installed in the mainboard, and SMDC needs the information
of MAC address from mainboard.
3. Install the TSO manager and TSO console correctly in client machine.
4. Start TSO console and use Tool/Discovery setting to make sure the SMDC
discovery is enabled (including broadcast discovery).
5. All systems with SMDC installed will show up. Correctly set the IP address.
6. Now you can use the Power/Off and other SMDC functions
