S2600GZ and S2600GL

Platform Management Functional Overview Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS
o Redundant BMC boot blocks to avoid possibility of a corrupted boot block resulting in a scenario
that prevents a user from updating the BMC.
o BMC System Management Health Monitoring
 Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality.
 Enable/Disable of System Reset Due CPU Errors
 Chassis intrusion detection
 Fan speed control
 Fan redundancy monitoring and support
 Hot-swap fan support
 Power Supply Fan Sensors
 System Airflow Monitoring
 Exit Air Temperature Monitoring
 Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles
 Ethernet Controller Thermal Monitoring
 Global Aggregate Temperature Margin Sensor
 Platform environment control interface (PECI) thermal management support
 Memory Thermal Management
 DIMM temperature monitoring: New sensors and improved acoustic management using closed-loop fan
control algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.
 Power supply redundancy monitoring and support
 Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The BMC handles power-good dropout
conditions.
 Intel
®
Intelligent Power Node Manager support
 Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting platform signal states.
 The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.
 System GUID storage and retrieval
 Front panel management: The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID LED. It supports
secure lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button presses. The chassis ID LED is
turned on using a front panel button or a command.
 Local Control Display Panel support
 Power state retention
 Power fault analysis
 Intel
®
Light-Guided Diagnostics
 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The BMC sends and responds to ARPs (supported on embedded
NICs).
 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The BMC performs DHCP (supported on embedded
NICs).
 E-mail alerting
 Embedded web server
o Support for embedded web server UI in Basic Manageability feature set.
o Human-readable SEL
o Additional system configurability
o Additional system monitoring capability
o Enhanced on-line help
 Integrated KVM
