Intel® Remote Management Module 2 1. Introduction Introduction This Technical Product Specification (TPS) provides details about the architecture and feature set of the Intel® Remote Management Module 2 (Intel® RMM2). This document does not replace the Intel RMM2 Users Guide, but provides enhanced information to assist with understanding and learning more about specific features of the board. 2. Product Overview The Intel RMM2 is a 2.25-inch x 2.75-inch printed circuit board.
Product Overview 2.3 Intel® Remote Management Module 2 Highest Security Standards using up to 256 bit SSLv3, Certificate Management, Event Logging and State-of-the-Art Authentication Methods Web Front-end The Intel® RMM2 module features an embedded operating system and applications offering a variety of standardized interfaces. The interfaces are accessed using the TCP/IP protocol family, thus they can be accessed using the built-in Ethernet adapterr.
Intel® Remote Management Module 2 Product Overview Once mounted, the media that is remote to the server appears local to the server. This allows administrators to install software or drivers on, or boot the server from the remote media.
Product Overview Intel® Remote Management Module 2 The Intel® RMM2 connects to the Intel RMM connector on the Intel server board. The Intel RMM connector is based on the Advanced Server Management Interface (Intel® ASMI) specification. The Intel® RMM2 uses a sub-set of the connector’s pins. It connects to the following interfaces: IPMB DDC DVO RS232 FML 0 or FML 1 MII USB Table 1.

Board Architecture 3. Intel® Remote Management Module 2 Board Architecture The Intel® RMM2 connects to the 120-pin header on the server board at the interfaces shown in the following Intel RMM2 Board Architecture block diagram: 3.1 Media Independent Interface (MII) A Media Independent Interface (MII) connects the MAC of the dedicated Ethernet NIC of the Intel RMM2 to the Ethernet PHY located on the Intel® GCM3 (NIC Module). 8 Revision 1.
Intel® Remote Management Module 2 3.2 Board Architecture USB 2.0 (high-speed) Interface A USB 2.0 (high-speed) interface supports the following: Virtual keyboard Virtual mouse Intel® RMM2 - Virtual Media Local utilities 3.3 IPMB Connections The Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) connects to the server board RMM header and is connected to a buffered I2C bus interface of the KIRA100 Chip on the Intel® RMM2. This IPMB interface connects the Intel RMM2 to the BMC.
Board Architecture 3.5 Intel® Remote Management Module 2 Intel® ASMI Connector The server board RMM connector implements two Fast Management Link (FML) interfaces: BMC_FML_0 NIC_FML_1 Both FML interfaces are wired to the FPGA of the Intel® RMM2. However, only the Intel RMM2 uses the BMC_FML_0. The FML bus is a high-speed (8 Mb/S) point-to-point interface that utilizes a single master and a single slave. The BMC is the FML master and the Intel® RMM2 is the FML slave. 3.5.
Intel® Remote Management Module 2 3.6 Board Architecture 8-MB SDRAM Video Frame Buffer Chip The DVC FPGA on the Intel® RMM2 uses an 8 MB SDRAM video frame buffer chip by Micron*. The chip allows support for the DVO video: Video capture Video compression Video encryption Video packetization Video transmission 3.7 32-MB SDRAM System Memory The KIRA100* chip uses a 32 MB SDRAM chip (8 MB X 32 b).
Electrical Specifications 4. Electrical Specifications 4.1 3.3 V Auxiliary Operation Intel® Remote Management Module 2 The server board generates the 3.3 V auxiliary supply from the system’s 5 V standby power rail when the system is off. Certain other devices on the server board also operate on 5V standby power to provide complete management functionality. When system power is on, the server board generates this power from the 3.3 V system power rail.
