Intel® Server System "Emerald Ridge” Integrated Baseboard Management Controller EPSAdvanced ManagementFeature Support6. Advanced Management Feature SupportThis section explains the advanced management features supported by BMC firmware.6.1 Enabling Advanced Management FeaturesAdvanced management features will only be enabled by the BMC when it detects the presenceof the Intel ® Remote Management Module 3 (Intel ® RMM3) card. Without the Intel ® RMM3, theadvanced features will be dormant.6.1.1 Intel ® Remote Management Module 3 (Intel ® RMM3)The Intel ® RMM3 provides the BMC with an additional dedicated network interface. Thededicated interface will consume its own LAN channel. Additionally, the Intel ® RMM3 will provideadditional flash storage for advanced features like WS-MAN.6.2 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) RedirectionThe BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. Thisfeature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature isonly enabled when the Intel ® RMM3 is present. The client system must have a Java RuntimeEnvironment (JRE) version 5.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.6.2.1 Keyboard and MouseThe keyboard and mouse are emulated by the BMC as USB human interface devices.6.2.2 VideoVideo output from the KVM subsystem is equivalent to the video output on the local console.Video redirection is available from the point video is initialized by the system BIOS. The KVMvideo resolutions and refresh rates will always match the values set in the operating system.6.2.3 AvailabilityUp to two remote KVM sessions are supported. An error will be displayed on the web browserattempting to launch more than two KVM sessions.The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes, but may be changed through the embedded webserver. Remote KVM activation does not disable the local system keyboard, video, or mouse.Remote KVM is not deactivated by local system input, unless the feature is disabled locally.KVM sessions will persist across system reset, but not across an AC power loss.6.3 Media RedirectionThe embedded web server provides a Java applet to enable remote media redirection. This maybe 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 aremote 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 systemRevision 1.1Intel ® Confidential 77
