Media Redirection; Web Services For Management (Ws-Man) - Intel S3420GPLC - Server Board Motherboard Specification

Platform Management
4.2.2.3 Availability
Up to two remote KVM sessions are supported. The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes;
however, this can be changed through the embedded web server. Remote KVM activation does
not disable the local system keyboard, video, or mouse. Unless the feature is disabled locally,
remote KVM is not deactivated by local system input.
KVM sessions persist across system reset but not across an AC power loss.
4.2.3

Media Redirection

The embedded web server provides a Java applet to enable remote media redirection. This may
be used in conjunction with the remote KVM feature or as a standalone applet.
The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users to mount a
remote IDE or USB CD-ROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a remote device to the server.
Once mounted, the remote device appears just like a local device to the server, allowing system
administrators or users to install software (including operating systems), copy files, update the
BIOS, and so forth, or boot the server from this device.
The following capabilities are supported:
 The operation of remotely mounted devices is independent of the local devices on the
server. Both remote and local devices are usable in parallel
Either IDE (CD-ROM, floppy) or USB devices can be mounted as a remote device to the

server.
 It is possible to boot all supported operating systems from the remotely mounted device
and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM ISO files. Refer to the
Tested/supported Operating System List for more information.
 It is possible to mount at least two devices concurrently.
 The mounted device is visible to (and useable by) the managed system's operating
system and BIOS in both pre-boot and post-boot states.
 The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the
BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.
 It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal server (no operating system
present) using the remotely mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to
configure the operating system during install.
If either a virtual IDE or virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, both
virtual IDE and virtual floppy are presented as bootable devices. It is not possible to present
only a single mounted device type to the system BIOS.
4.2.3.1 Availability
The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes, but may be changed through the embedded web
server.
Media redirection sessions persist across system reset but not across an AC power loss.
