5. I/O Riser
The I/O riser provides support for advanced server management with a dedicated maintenance
Ethernet port and dual gigabit Ethernet ports on one vertical riser.
The advanced server management upgrade kit provides the Remote Management Module
(Intel
®
RMM2) and a dedicated NIC port via the RMM2 NIC module. The RMM2 NIC module
contains the LAN PHY and an RJ45 jack for external access.
The Intel
®
RMM2 NIC provides an upgrade path to advanced server management capabilities.
When the Intel RMM2 is plugged into the I/O riser, the original set of server management
features continue to function and additional functionality is available. This functionality
seamlessly integrates with respect to configuration functions and software support.
The Intel
®
RMM2 supports the keyboard, mouse, video redirect, and media redirect
functionality. This enables the user to use a remote system to control the activity of the host
server. See the ASMI external architecture specification for information about the Intel RMM2
and the RMM2 NIC.
The Intel
®
82575 PCI Express*-based Ethernet controller provides advanced networking control
and capability with dual-gigabit Ethernet ports. This controller hosts the Intel
®
I/O Acceleration
Technology II (Intel
®
I/OAT2) capability that provides optimization of the TCP flow. The I/O riser
provides an option to disable Gbit port A and / or port B in the BIOS. Server management traffic
over these ports is not supported. For management traffic, use the main board LAN ports.
