1-9 Introduction to the IPMI Controller (-F Models Only)
This motherboard incorporates the Renesas IPMI Controller, which integrates a
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) CPU Core with peripheral capabili-
ties required for a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The Renesas IPMI
Controller offers the user a superb solution to manage PC server systems with
greatefciency.
The BMC controller supports a 32Kb_instruction cache and a 32Kb_operand cache,
which can be switched between write-back and write-through. The instruction cache
offers a 4-way full-associative instruction TBL (Translation Lookaside Buffer) and a
64-way full-associative shared TBL. The memory management unit, which is embed-
ded on the chip, provides access to 4 Gb virtual address space. .
