ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by
the BIOS.
BMC self test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests, and makes results
available to external entities.
3.1.2 Non IPMI Features
BMC firmware update using firmware transfer mode (FTM).
BMC on-line update: BMC rolling update that supports a redundant firmware image.
Fault resilient booting (FRB): FRB2 is supported by the watchdog timer functionality
Chassis intrusion detection and chassis intrusion cable presence detection.
Basic fan control using TControl version 2 SDRs.
Fan redundancy monitoring and support.
Power supply redundancy monitoring and support.
Hot-swap fan support.
Acoustic management: Support for multiple fan profiles.
Alert Standard Forum (ASF) power-on self-test (POST) progress queuing: The BMC
queues POST messages sent from the BIOS and makes these accessible through IPMI
interfaces.
Signal testing support: The BMC provides test commands for setting and getting
platform signal states.
The BMC generates diagnostic beep codes for fault conditions.
System GUID storage and retrieval.
Memory reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS): The BMC provides sensors to
track DIMM state and memory RAS redundancy state. The BMC provides IPMI OEM
commands to enable the BIOS to push this information to the BMC.
Front panel management: The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID
LED. It supports secure lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button
presses. The chassis ID LED is turned on using a front panel button or a command.
Power state retention.
Power fault analysis.
Intel
®
Light-Guided Diagnostics.
Power unit management: Support for power unit sensor. The BMC handles power-good
dropout conditions.
DIMM temperature monitoring: New sensors and improved acoustic management using
closed-loop fan control algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.
Non-maskable interrupt (NMI): Provides commands to set/get NMI source. Supports
generation of NMI due to watchdog timer, IPMI command, or front panel NMI button.
Monitors system NMI signal.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): The BMC sends and responds to ARP (supported
on ESB2-embedded NICs)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): The BMC performs DHCP (supported on
ESB2-embedded NICs).
