Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS 1. Introduction Introduction This Technical Product Specification (TPS) provides details about the architecture and feature set of the Intel® Remote Management Module 4 (Intel® RMM4). This document does not replace the Intel® RMM4 User’s Guide, but provides enhanced information to assist with understanding and learning more about specific features of the board. 1.

RMM4 Overview 2. Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS RMM4 Overview Intel® Remote Management Model 4 (RMM4) includes two components, Intel® Remote Management Module 4 Lite (RMM4 Lite) and Intel® Dedicated Management NIC (DMN). The RMM4 Lite is the key that can enable advance KVM and media sharing features for the server onboard Integrated BMC (ServerEngines* Pilot III Baseboard Management Controller). The DMN provides a dedicated management LAN interface with an Ethernet network controller.

Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS RMM4 Overview Because the DMN is integrated on the mother board, only the RMM4 Lite key is required to add Advanced integrated BMC KVM \ Media Features. Table 2. RMM4 and RMM4 Lite Properties (V3) Modules No RMM RMM4 Lite edition RMM4 full edition Revision 1.

Hardware Architecture Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS 4. Hardware Architecture 4.1 Integrated BMC Board Architecture Intel® RMM4 utilizes the on-board ServerEngines* Pilot III Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC). The Integrated BMC board architecture is displayed below: Figure 10. Integrated BMC Board Architecture 4.2 Integrated BMC Feature Set At the center of the server management subsystem is the ServerEngines* Pilot III Integrated Baseboard Management Controller.
PAGE 17
Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS Hardware Architecture The LPC interface to the host is used for SIO and BMC communication. The LPC Bus interface provides IPMI Compliant KCS and BT interfaces The PCI Express interface is mainly used for the graphics controller interface to communicate with the host. The graphics controller is a VGA-compliant controller with 2D hardware acceleration and full bus master support. The BMC functionality is implemented with an Integrated ARM9 processor.

The graphics controller operates completely independent of the BMC; however it can be disabled by the BMC.

Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS Advanced Features 5. Advanced Features 5.1 Enabling Advanced Management Features The Advanced management features are to be delivered as part of the Integrated BMC FW image. The Integrated BMC’s baseboard SPI flash contains code/data for both the Basic and Advanced features. An optional add-in card Intel® RMM4 Lite is used as the activation mechanism. When the BMC FW initializes, it attempts to access the Intel® RMM4 Lite.
PAGE 26
Advanced Features 5.2 Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection The Integrated BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java* applet. This feature is only enabled when the Intel® RMM4 Lite is present. The client system must have a Java* Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.
PAGE 27
Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS 5.2.2 Advanced Features Performance The remote display accurately represents the local display. The feature adapts to changes to the video resolution of the local display and continues to work smoothly when the system transitions from graphics to text or vice-versa. The responsiveness may be slightly delayed depending on the bandwidth and latency of the network. Enabling KVM and/or media encryption will degrade performance.
PAGE 28
Advanced Features Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS At least two concurrent remote KVM sessions are supported. It is possible for at least two different users to connect to same server and start remote KVM sessions. 5.3 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.
PAGE 29
Intel® Remote Management Module 4 TPS Advanced Features If either a virtual IDE or virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, both the 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. 5.3.1 Availability The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes and is not user-configurable. Media redirection sessions persist across system reset but not across an AC power loss or BMC reset. 5.
