22.23 Hot-Swap Controller
22.23.1 Backplane Types
SAS / SATA backplanes are supported in the following configurations.
Modular hot-swap controller (HSC) using Vitesse* 410: This configuration uses a
modular board that plugs into SAS / SATA backplanes.
The Vitesse SEPs support the legacy BMC to SEP commands that were implemented on earlier
server boards that used a Qlogic* GEM 424. These are supported via the IPMB interface. These
commands are augmented with new commands capable of supporting up to 32 drives.
22.24 Intel® Remote Management Module 2 (Intel® RMM2)
This module is plugged into the Intel
®
RMM2 connector. This connector complies with a new
management connector specification designed to last across multiple generations of servers.
The Intel
®
RMM2 is an optional card that can be plugged into the server. The Intel
®
RMM2 and
the Intel RMM2 NIC must both be installed to obtain the features provided by the Intel RMM2.
The Intel RMM2 and Intel RMM2 NIC are not hot pluggable, the server’s AC power must be off
when an Intel RMM2 and Intel RMM2 NIC are installed.
The Intel
®
RMM2 contains it own stand alone firmware. This stand alone Intel RMM2 firmware
can be updated using a Windows* or Linux* utility or logging into the Intel RMM2 card’s
WebServer.
