BMC Interface
Some DPUs incorporate local NIC BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) hardware on
the board. The BMC SoC (system on a chip) can utilize either shared or dedicated NICs for
remote access. The BMC node enables remote power cycling, board environment
monitoring, BlueField-2 chip temperature monitoring, board power, and consumption
monitoring, and individual interface resets. The BMC also supports the ability to push a
boot stream to BlueField-2.
Warning
Applicable to MBF2H516C-EECOT, MBF2H516C-EESOT, MBF2M516C-
EECOT and MBF2M516C-EESOT.
