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)

FILE LOCATION: D:\Projects\Service Guide\Server\2011_Scorpion\RIS\BMC

Manual\BMC\C6220_BMC_HOM_section1.fm

• 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.

NOTE: The default username and password are in lowercase characters. It is

advised to change the root password once you have logged in.

Click the Help button on the top right corner for assistance. Click Logout to

exit.

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.
