3.2.6 System Event Log (SEL)
The BMC allocates memory space for logging system events. SEL events can range from
critical system errors to basic system monitoring reports. The SEL can be cleared in the system
BIOS setup, or by using the SEL viewer utility or Intel
®
System Management application.
3.2.7 Real-Time Clock (RTC) Access
The SIO on this platform allows the BMC to have its own private RTC. In order for the BMC to
remain in sync with the system RTC, the BIOS must send the Set SEL Time command with the
current system time to the BMC during system boot and before system shut-down. If the time is
modified through an OS interface, then the BMC’s time is not synchronized until the next system
reboot.
3.2.8 Rolling BIOS
The main board provides two flash chips that can contain two independent BIOS versions. This
allows BIOS updates without a system reboot as well as failover to a good BIOS image in the
event of BIOS corruption. Rolling BIOS support is controlled entirely by BIOS and requires no
support from BMC Firmware.
3.2.9 BMC EBus Memory Sub-System
The main board provides two flash chips for BMC memory. The first flash chip represents the
base BMC memory and the second represents the expansion BMC memory (Empty). This
additional memory allows the BMC to store more complicated server management programs, as
opposed to only using the BMC serial EEPROM.
The BMC memory sub-system also includes an SDRAM device, which allows the BMC to
temporarily store and fetch data without using system memory. The BMC communicates with
the flash and SDRAM memory through an Expansion Bus (EBus).
