Host Heartbeat - American Megatrends MegaRAC G2 User Manual

Advanced MegaRAC G2 Card Configurations,

Host Heartbeat

The Host Heartbeat Configuration screen is a subsection of the Advanced group. This
page allows you to configure the Host Heartbeat's time interval. The MegaRAC G2 card
expects a heartbeat from host system after every configured elapsed time interval to know
that the operating system on host system is up and running.
The new Heartbeat Configuration takes effect only after the MegaRAC G2 card receives
the next heartbeat from the host system.
The following table describes the information listed in this subsection in detail:

Note: You must install the MegaRAC G2 Server Heartbeat program to use the Host Heartbeat
program to monitor the operating system. The MegaRAC G2 Server Heartbeat program
is located on your MegaRAC G2 CD and must be installed on the host system. The host
system is the system that has the MegaRAC G2 card physically installed into it.
