Intelligent Platform Management
Interface
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) defines a set of
standardized, message-based interfaces that monitor system hardware health
(fan speed, temperature, voltage, power supply, and so on.), control system
components, and store data about important system events in a system event
log (SEL) for later examination. IPMI provides the foundation for remote
platform management.
NOTE: To learn more about IPMI, see intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/.
Baseboard Management Controller
The key component in the IPMI system is the baseboard management
controller (BMC), a microcontroller located on the server’s system board.
BMC is the “intelligence” within the IPMI architecture, responsible for
monitoring and controlling the server’s manageable devices.
BMC is connected to the various sensors through the Intelligent Platform
Management Bus (IPMB), a subset of the I2C bus. System software
communicates with BMC using a keyboard controller style (KCS) interface.
Supported Platform
PowerEdge C6220
BMC Key Features and Functions
The features supported by BMC are as follows:
• Support for IPMI v1.5 and v2.0
• Out-of-band monitoring and control for server management over LAN
• Dedicated NIC for remote management via network
• FRU information report, which includes system board part number,
product name, and manufacturer.
• Health status/hardware monitoring report
• View and clear events log
• Event notification by lighting chassis LED indicator and Platform Event
Trap ( PET)

• Platform Event Filtering (PEF) to take selected action for selected events
• Chassis management, which includes power control, status report, front
panel buttons, and LEDs control
• Watchdog and auto server re-start and recovery
• Multi-session user and alert destination for LAN channel
Using the Web User Interface
The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to
connect to the BMC using an Internet browser (Windows Internet Explorer)
without needing to install KVM and virtual storage software on a remote
console.
Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:
• Microsoft Windows:
– Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9
– Mozilla Firefox 7, 8, 9
– Google Chrome 3.0 (optional)
•Linux:
– Mozilla Firefox 7, 8, 9
•MacOS
*
:
– Safari V5.X
* Default Java Machine — Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is not yet supported.
Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK) is supported and recommended. For more
information, see openjdk.java.net.

Logging in to the Web User Interface
Users must enter the PowerEdge C6220 embedded server IP address or URL
(default DHCP\static IP address) into the address bar of the web browser.
When connecting to the PowerEdge C6220 using a web browser, Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) is automatically activated and the display user login form
is displayed prompting for the username and password. This authentication
with SSL protection prevents unauthorized intruders from gaining access to
the PowerEdge C6220 web server. If authentication is passed, you can manage
the server by privilege.
A security certificate warning displays, choose Continue to this website (not
recommended) to continue.
The user authentication web page is displayed. Enter the default user name
and password, and click OK.

The Remote Management Controller’s web UI is divided into two areas. On
the left is the multi-level navigation menu bar, which is divided into four
categories and each category is subdivided into several submenus. On the
right is the information pane, which displays list of information, commands
or configuration options that are associated with the category selected from
the navigation menu bar.
