1 1 Introduction This section introduces the C410x Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and includes the requirements for web-based graphical user interface (GUI) BMC Key Features and Functions Support for IPMI v2.0 Out-of-band monitoring and control for sever management over LAN. Helps in generating FRU information report ,which includes main board part number, product name, manufacturer and so on.) Health status/Hardware monitoring report. View and clear events log.
2 Using the Web UI The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to connect to the BMC using an Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explore). The web server supports four concurrent connections Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers: Microsoft Windows: • Internet Explorer 6 and 7 • Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later Linux: Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later Chapters 3 to 6 describe the various features available on the UI.
3 Remote Management Console Overview 1. Open a web browser and type in your identified IP. The IP address can be found using your DHCP server. 2. A dialog box prompts you to enter Username and Password. 3.
After you successfully log in to your Dell Remote Management Console, the Remote Management Console GUI appears. Properties The Properties page displays the firmware version of the current remote client system.
Configuration Network You can view and modify the network settings on this screen. Select whether to obtain an IP address automatically or configure one manually. It is recommended to use DHCP if your environment has a DHCP server. You can set DHCP (obtain the IP address automatically) or STATIC IP (configure the IP address manually). When you finish configuration, click Apply Changes or for re-configuration click Refresh.
Security The Security page shows the current certificate status. 1 To generate a new certificate, click Generate Certificate. 2 To upload a certificate, click Upload Certificate.
Users To configure a specific user, click the Users ID. To display new user information, click Refresh. NOTE: BMC convention for enabling an ‘anonymous’ login is to configure the entry for User ID 1 with a null username (all zero’s) and a null password (all zero’s). Applications may then present this to the user as an anonymous login.
Services You can configure the web server parameters (such as, HTTP Port Number, HTTPS Port Number, and Timeout) on a remote computer. By default, the timeout is 1800 seconds; 5 for the Max Sessions. When you finish the configuration, click Apply Changes.
IPMI The IPMI page contains two tabs: IPMI Serial and IPMI Settings. IPMI Serial There are three serial configuration in IPMI Serial: Connection Mode Settings, Baud Rate, and Channel Privilege Level Limit. The Connection Mode Settings allows user to select the Console redirection type and to manage the system from a remote location. Once the connection mode is set, select the Baud Rate from the drop-down list.

Sessions This Sessions page displays information on Active Sessions. Additionally, the trash can icon provides the delete function for privileged users. Click Refresh to refresh the Sessions status.
Updates The firmware can be updated remotely. To update firmware, follow the instructions given below: 3 Select the file on your local system using Browse. 4 Select Update Type. 5 Select Preserve Configuration. 6 Click Update to delete the current version and update to the new version.
Utilities The Utilities page provides BMC reboot and Factory default restore functions. To reboot system, click Reboot. To restore factory default setting, click Factory Default.
Power Control Power Control allows you to power on/off/cycle the remote host system. Additionally you can see the remote power status. To perform the power control operation, select the operation and click Apply Changes.
Power Consumption This screen displays information on the system power consumption. The information includes Current Power Consumption, Power Consumption Monitoring Start Date, Max/Min Power Consumption, and Average Power Consumption.
PCIE Power Consumption This page displays the status of PCIe power consumption. Each sensor displays a different color to indicate the health status of a specified PCIe device. Table3-2. Power Consumption Sensor Description The green color indicates the device is healthy and there’s no sensor that has any alert. The yellow color indicates the device has at least one sensor that has warning alert. The red color indicates the device has at least one sensor that has a critical alert.
Thermal This page displays the Fans and Temperatures sensors of a remote host system. Click Refresh to update current health status for both Fans and Temperatures. Table3-3. Thermal Sensor Description The green color indicates the device is healthy and there’s no sensor that has any alert. The yellow color indicates the device has at least one sensor that has a warning alert. The red color indicates the device has at least one sensor that has a critical alert.
Temperatures Temperatures page displays each board and the PCI-E slot temperature status.
System Event Log It records the event when sensor has an abnormal state. When the log matches the pre-defined alert, the system sends out the notification automatically, if it is pre-configured.
Event Management Platform Events A PEF can trigger an action and generate an alert when a critical hardwarerelated event occurs. For each PEF, you can choose the action to be taken when a platform event occurs. You can also choose to generate and send an alert when a platform event occurs. In the Platform Events screen, you can enable the generation of platform event alerts globally by clicking Global Alerting Enable. When you finish the configuration, click Apply Changes.
Traps Settings In the Trap Settings page, you can set the IPv4 and IPv6 Destination List. IPv6 and IPv4 are two completely separate protocols. IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv4, and IPv4 hosts and routers will not be able to deal directly with IPv6 traffic. IPv6 has a significantly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. When you finish the configuration, click Apply Changes.
Email Settings In order to enable email alert messages, you can configure e-mail settings by specifying the e-mail address, subject and message in the Email Settings screen. After you finish the configuration, click Apply Change to save the settings.
Port Map You can identify the specified iPASS mapping to PCIe controller in the Port Map page. Click Apply Change to save the settings. Or you can change remote port mapping by running the port map script. Download the script from support.dell.com. Script usage # sh ./port_map.sh bmc_ip bmc_un bmc_pw Example # sh ./port_map.sh 10.1.7.211 root root You can reset each individual sled.
