Intel® Server Board M50CYP2SB Family Technical Product Specification
5.2.7
Autonomous Debug Log
The BMC has a debug log that can be downloaded to facilitate support issues. This debug log can be
downloaded from the embedded web console or via syscfg and SDPTool utilities. The debug log contains
configuration data including SDR, SEL, BMC configuration, PCI configuration, power supply configuration and
power supply black box data. The debug log also contains SMBIOS data and the POST codes from the last
two system boots. Finally, when the system has a catastrophic error condition leading to a system shutdown,
the BMC will hold the CPU in reset long enough to collect processor machine check registers, memory
controller machine check registers, I/O global error registers, and other processor state info.
5.2.8
Security Features
The BMC contains several security features including OpenLDAP and Active Directory, security logs, ability to
turn off any remote port, SSL certificate upload, VLAN support, and KCS control. The BMC also supports full
user management with the ability to define password complexity rules. Each BMC release is given a security
version number to prevent firmware downgrades from going to lower security versions. Intel provides a best
practices security guide, available at

The Advanced System Management product key can be purchased and pre-loaded onto the system when
ordering a fully integrated server system directly from Intel using its online Configure-to-Order (CTO) tool.
Or, the Advanced System Management product key can be purchased separately and installed later. When
purchasing the product key separately from the system, instructions will be provided on where to register
the product key with Intel. A license file is then downloaded onto the system where the Integrated BMC Web
Console or the SYSCFG utility are used to upload the key to the BMC firmware to unlock the advanced
features.
5.3.1
Virtual Media Image Redirection (HTML5 and Java)
The BMC supports media redirection of local folders and .IMG and .ISO image files. This redirection is
supported in both HTML5 and Java remote console clients. When the user selects "Virtual Media over
HTML5", a new web page will be displayed. This web page provides the user interface to select which type of
source media (image file or file folder*) to mount. The user interface then allows the user to select the
desired media to make available to the server system. After the type and specific media are selected, the
interface provides a mount/unmount interface so the user can connect the media to or disconnect the media
from the server system. Once connected, the selected image file or file folder is presented in the server
