Intel S2600CW - Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection

Intel® Server Board S2600CW Platform Management Intel® Server Board S2600CW Family TPS
90 Revision 2.4
Key Features of the RMM4 add-on are:
 KVM redirection from either the dedicated management NIC or the server board NICs
used for management traffic, up to two KVM sessions.
 Media Redirection – The media redirection feature is intended to allow system
administrators or users to mount a remote IDE or USB CDROM, 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 system administrators or users to install
software (including operating systems), copy files, update BIOS, or boot the server
from this device.
 KVM – Automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen capture, high
performance mouse tracking and synchronization. It allows remote viewing and
configuration in pre-boot POST and BIOS setup.
5.5.1 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This
feature is available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is
only enabled when the Intel
®
RMM4 lite is present. The client system must have a Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.
The BMC supports an embedded KVM application (Remote Console) that can be launched
from the embedded web server from a remote console. USB1.1 or USB 2.0 based mouse and
keyboard redirection are supported. It is also possible to use the KVM-redirection (KVM-r)
session concurrently with media-redirection (media-r). This feature allows a user to
interactively use the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions of the remote server as if
the user were physically at the managed server. KVM redirection console supports the
following keyboard layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
KVM redirection includes a “soft keyboard” function. The “soft keyboard” is used to simulate
an entire keyboard that is connected to the remote system. The “soft keyboard” functionality
supports the following layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
The KVM-redirection feature automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen
capture and provides high-performance mouse tracking and synchronization. It allows remote
viewing and configuration in pre-boot POST and BIOS setup, once BIOS has initialized video.
Other attributes of this feature include:
 Encryption of the redirected screen, keyboard, and mouse
 Compression of the redirected screen
 Ability to select a mouse configuration based on the OS type
 Supports user definable keyboard macros
KVM redirection feature supports the following resolutions and refresh rates:
