  • Page 8 Standard or OEM Drivers Hardware Monitoring The latest hardware from TYAN is equipped with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) from Renesas H8 which provides not only system monitoring but also remote manageability. The BMC can always monitor the hardware regardless of how the operating system is running.
  • Page 9 Remote Console Redirection allows IT managers to effectively control and maneuver text console of a remote machine. Serial console information goes through the M3291/3295 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.
  • Page 10 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.

  • Page 20 So before using M3291/3295, User also need update M3291/3295 motherboard specified firmware. M3291/3295 Driver CD contains the firmware file. User also can get the latest firmware from Tyan website. Tyan provide both DOS and Linux utility for firmware updating. The firmware release packages include these two utility already.
  • Page 21: Configuration

    4.2- Configuration Before using M3291/3295, users need do some configuration first, such as IP Address. Otherwise some IPMI function won’t work. Users can use the standard IPMI software to set. And Tyan also provide some utilities to do them. The most important configuration are LAN Configuration and User Password Setting.

    Solution: SMDC means System Management Daughter Card. It’s an embedded system, independent of the operating system, using the SMBus to monitor hardware sensors. TSO means Tyan System Operator. It is installed on different operating systems and allows remote or local monitoring.
  • Page 48 Question: What’s the M3291 Driver Solution: As IPMI is OS-independent, normally users don’t need load any driver when using M3291. But some times, when users want to use some in-band utility or application, IPMI driver is needed. Windows: M3291 can use the Intel IPMI Reference Driver. Users can get it at: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm...
