platform uses a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) for internal platform management. The BMC monitors and controls power, cooling, and alarms and present data to internal/external management agents through standard IPMI 2.0 compliant data records.
The BMC has the capability to update the host (motherboard) processor BIOS. It controls the system clock generator configuration.
The BMC stores its CRU data records in a non-volatile memory, which is accessible through an I2C Sensor bus. The following table lists the BMC functionality in the SBC 7000 platform:
BMC Functionality on SBC 7000 Series
BMC Feature | Purpose |
---|
Temperature read, reset, and power on/off | - Monitors the chassis temperature by using different temperature sensor through an I2C sensor bus.
- Monitors the chassis various power supplies by using external voltage monitors accessible through I2C.
|
Memory store | Stores CRU data records in a non-volatile memory accessible through an I2C Sensor bus. |
Fan sub-system control | Controls the SBC 7000 Fan subsystem by monitoring each fan’s tachometer output and adjusting individual fan speed in response to chassis temperature changes. |
LED control | Controls the five Front panel LEDs. |
Alarm sub-system control | Not supported in current release. |
Integrated firmware upgrade | Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" platform provides a mechanism for an integrated upgrade of the BIOS, BMC, and system PLDs firmware. This mechanism can be determined from the BMC GUI. |
Connection to remote management entities | Provides both serial and 10/100 Ethernet ports for connection to remote management entities. |
