Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS Platform Management Functional Overview
Revision 2.0 Intel order number G36516-002 81
o Capture of power supply “black box” data and power supply asset information.
Power supply vendors are adding the capability to store debug data within the
power supply itself. The platform debug feature provides a means to capture this
data for each installed power supply. The data can be analyzed by Intel for failure
analysis and possibly provided to the power supply vendor as well. The BMC
gets this data from the power supplies from the PMBus* manufacturer-specific
commands.
o Storage of system identification in power supply. The BMC copies board and
system serial numbers and part numbers into the power supply whenever a new
power supply is installed in the system or when the system is first powered on.
This information is included as part of the power supply black box data for each
installed power supply.
Accessibility from IPMI interfaces. The platform debug file can be accessed from an
external IPMI interface (KCS or LAN).
POST code sequence for the two most recent boots. This is a best-effort data collection by
the BMC as the BMC real-time response cannot guarantee that all POST codes are
captured.
Support for multiple debug files. The platform debug feature provides the ability to save
data to 2 separate files that are encrypted with different passwords.
o File #1 is strictly for viewing by Intel engineering and may contain BMC log
messages (that is, syslog) and other debug data that Intel FW developers deem
useful in addition to the data specified in this document.
o File #2 can be viewed by Intel partners who have signed an NDA with Intel and
its contents are restricted to specific data items specified in this with the
exception of the BMC syslog messages and power supply “black box” data.
6.12.15.1 Output Data Format
The diagnostic feature shall output a password-protected compressed HTML file containing
specific BMC and system information. This file is not intended for end-customer usage, this file
is for customer support and engineering only.
6.12.15.2 Output Data Availability
The diagnostic data shall be available on-demand from the embedded web server, KCS, or IPMI
over LAN commands.
6.12.15.3 Output Data Categories
The following tables list the data to be provided in the diagnostic output.
