1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel® Server Boards contain a number of high-density VLSI (Very-large-scale integration) and power
delivery components that require adequate airflow for cooling. Intel ensures through its own chassis
development and testing that when Intel® server building blocks are used together, the fully integrated
system meets the intended thermal requirements of these components. It is the responsibility of the
system integrator who chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor
datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for their specific
application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail
or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of the published operating or non-
operating limits.

Figure 15. Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR Functional Block Diagram
3.1 Processor Support
The server board includes two Socket-R (LGA2011) processor sockets and can support one or two of the
following processors - Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 product family with a Thermal
Design Power (TDP) of up to 150W.
Note: The 150w TDP processor is only supported on Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR and Intel®
Server Board S2600IP only supports up to 135W TDP processors. Previous generation Intel® Xeon®
processors are not supported on the Intel server boards described in this document.
For a complete updated list of supported processors, please visit the support website.
3.1.1 Processor Socket Assembly
Each processor socket of the server board is pre-assembled with an Independent Latching Mechanism
(ILM) and Back Plate which allow for secure placement of the processor and processor heat to the server
board. The illustration below identifies each sub-assembly component.

Figure 17. Processor Socket ILM
The square ILM has an 80x80mm heat sink mounting hole pattern and is used on the Intel® Server Board
S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR.
Note: Processor Thermal solutions for the Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR are NOT the same with
Intel® Server Board S2600IP when install 150W TDP Processors.
3.1.2 Processor Population Rules
Note: Although the server board does support dual-processor configurations consisting of different
processors that meet the defined criteria below, Intel does not perform validation testing of this
configuration. For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations, Intel recommends that
identical processors be installed.

When using a single processor configuration, the processor must be installed into the processor socket
labeled “CPU_1”.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
Both processors must be of the same processor family.
Both processors must have the same number of cores.
Both processors must have the same cache sizes for all levels of processor cache
memory.
Processors with different core frequencies can be mixed in a system, given the prior
rules are met. If this condition is detected, all processor core frequencies are set to the
lowest common denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.
Processors which have different QPI link frequencies may operate together if they are
otherwise compatible and if a common link frequency can be selected. The common link
frequency would be the highest link frequency that all installed processors can achieve.
Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.
3.1.3 Processor Initialization Error Summary
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all Intel®
server boards and Intel server systems designed around the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 and E5-
2600 v2 product family and Intel® C600 chipset product family architecture. The errors fall into one of
the following three categories:
Fatal: If the system can boot, it pauses at a blank screen with the text “Unrecoverable
fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved” and “Press <F2>
to enter setup”, regardless of whether the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled or
disabled.
When the operator presses the <F2> key on the keyboard, the error message is
displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the System Event Log
(SEL) with the POST Error Code.
The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the
faulty part and restart the system.
For Fatal Errors during processor initialization, the System Status LED will be set to a
steady Amber color, indicating an unrecoverable system failure condition.
Major: If the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to the
Error Manager to display the error, and logs the POST Error Code to SEL. Operator
intervention is required to continue booting the system.
Otherwise, if “POST Error Pause” is disabled, the system continues to boot and no
prompt is given for the error, although the Post Error Code is logged to the Error
Manager and in a SEL message.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Functional Architecture
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 23
Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, and
the POST Error Code is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded
state. The user may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option
setting in the BIOS setup does not have any effect on this error.

3.2.1 Intel® QuickPath Interconnect
The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect is a high speed, packetized, point-to-point interconnect used
in the processor. The narrow high-speed links stitch together processors in distributed shared
memory and integrated I/O platform architecture. It offers much higher bandwidth with low
latency. The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect has an
efficient
architecture
allowing more
interconnect performance to be achieved in real systems. It has a snoop protocol optimized for
low latency and high scalability, as well as packet and lane structures enabling quick
completions of transactions. Reliability, availability, and serviceability features (RAS) are built into
the architecture.
The physical connectivity of each interconnect link is made up of twenty differential signal pairs
plus a differential forwarded clock. Each port supports a link pair consisting of two unidirectional
links to complete the connection between two components. This supports traffic in both
directions simultaneously. To facilitate flexibility and longevity, the interconnect is defined as
having five layers: Physical, Link, Routing, Transport, and Protocol.
The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect includes a cache coherency protocol to keep the distributed
memory and caching structures coherent during system operation. It supports both low-latency
source snooping and a scalable home snoop behavior. The coherency protocol provides for
direct cache-to-cache transfers for optimal latency.

3.2.2.2 Memory Population Rules
Note: Although mixed DIMM configurations are supported, Intel only performs platform
validation on systems that are configured with identical DIMMs installed.
Each processor provides four banks of memory, each capable of supporting up to 2 DIMMs.
DIMMs are organized into physical slots on DDR3 memory channels that belong to processor
sockets.
The memory channels from processor socket 1 are identified as Channel A, B, C and D. The
memory channels from processor socket 2 are identified as Channel E, F, G, and H.
The silk screened DIMM slot identifiers on the board provide information about the channel, and
therefore the processor to which they belong. For example, DIMM_A1 is the first slot on Channel
A on processor 1; DIMM_E1 is the first DIMM socket on Channel E on processor 2.
The memory slots associated with a given processor are unavailable if the corresponding
processor socket is not populated.
A processor may be installed without populating the associated memory slots provided a second
processor is installed with associated memory. In this case, the memory is shared by the
processors. However, the platform suffers performance degradation and latency due to the
remote memory.
Processor sockets are self-contained and autonomous. However, all memory subsystem support
(such as Memory RAS, Error Management,) in the BIOS setup are applied commonly across
processor sockets.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS

On the Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR a total of 16 DIMM slots is

Figure 19. DIMM Slot Layout
The following are generic DIMM population requirements that generally apply to both the Intel® Server
Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR.
DIMM slots on any memory channel must be filled following the “farthest fill first” rule.
A maximum of 8 ranks can be installed on any one channel, counting all ranks in each DIMM on
the channel.
DIMM types (UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM) must not be mixed within or across processor sockets.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Functional Architecture
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 31
Mixing ECC with non-ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs) is not supported within or across processor sockets.
Mixing Low Voltage (1.35V) DIMMs with Standard Voltage (1.5V) DIMMs is not supported within
or across processor sockets.
Mixing DIMMs of different frequencies and latencies is not supported within or across processor
sockets.
LRDIMM Rank Multiplication Mode and Direct Map Mode must not be mixed within or across
processor sockets.
Only ECC UDIMMs support Low Voltage 1.35V operation.
QR RDIMMs may only be installed in DIMM Slot 1 or 2 on a channel.
2 DPC QR Low Voltage RDIMMs are not supported.
In order to install 3 QR LRDIMMs on the same channel, they must be operated with Rank
Multiplication as RM = 2.
RAS Modes Lockstep, Rank Sparing, and Mirroring are mutually exclusive in this BIOS. Only one
operating mode may be selected, and it will be applied to the entire system.
If a RAS Mode has been configured, and the memory population will not support it during boot,
the system will fall back to Independent Channel Mode and log and display errors
Rank Sparing Mode is only possible when all channels that are populated with memory meet the
requirement of having at least 2 SR or DR DIMM installed, or at least one QR DIMM installed, on
each populated channel.
Lockstep or Mirroring Modes require that for any channel pair that is populated with memory, the
memory population on both channels of the pair must be identically sized.
DIMM population rules require that DIMMs within a channel be populated starting with the BLUE
DIMM slot or DIMM farthest from the processor in a “fill-farthest” approach. In addition, when
populating a Quad-rank DIMM with a Single- or Dual-rank DIMM in the same channel, the
Quad-rank DIMM must be populated farthest from the processor. Note that Quad-rand DIMMs
and UDIMMs are not allowed in three slots populated configurations. Intel MRC will check for
correct DIMM placement.
3.2.2.3 Publishing System Memory
The BIOS displays the “Total Memory” of the system during POST if Display Logo is disabled in
the BIOS setup. This is the total size of memory discovered by the BIOS during POST, and is the
sum of the individual sizes of installed DDR3 DIMMs in the system.
The BIOS displays the “Effective Memory” of the system in the BIOS setup. The term Effective
Memory refers to the total size of all DDR3 DIMMs that are active (not disabled) and not used as
redundant units.
The BIOS provides the total memory of the system in the main page of the BIOS setup. This total
is the same as the amount described by the first bullet above.
If Quite Boot is disabled, the BIOS displays the total system memory on the diagnostic screen at the end
of POST. This total is the same as the amount described by the first bullet above.
3.2.2.4 RAS Features
The server board supports the following memory RAS modes:
Independent Channel Mode
Rank Sparing Mode
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
32 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
Mirrored Channel Mode
Lockstep Channel Mode
Regardless of RAS mode, the requirements for populating within a channel given in the section 3.2.2.2
must be met at all times. Note that support of RAS modes that require matching DIMM population
between channels (Mirrored and Lockstep) require that ECC DIMMs be populated. Independent Channel
Mode is the only mode that supports non-ECC DIMMs in addition to ECC DIMMs.
For RAS modes that require matching populations, the same slot positions across channels must hold the
same DIMM type with regards to size and organization. DIMM timings do not have to match but timings
will be set to support all DIMMs populated (that is, DIMMs with slower timings will force faster DIMMs to
the slower common timing modes).
3.2.2.4.1 Independent Channel Mode
Channels can be populated in any order in Independent Channel Mode. All four channels may be
populated in any order and have no matching requirements. All channels must run at the same interface
frequency but individual channels may run at different DIMM timings (RAS latency, CAS Latency, and so
forth).
3.2.2.4.2 Rank Sparing Mode
In Rank Sparing Mode, one rank is a spare of the other ranks on the same channel. The spare rank is
held in reserve and is not available as system memory. The spare rank must have identical or larger
memory capacity than all the other ranks (sparing source ranks) on the same channel. After sparing, the
sparing source rank will be lost.
3.2.2.4.3 Mirrored Channel Mode
In Mirrored Channel Mode, the memory contents are mirrored between Channel 0 and Channel 2
and also between Channel 1 and Channel 3. As a result of the mirroring, the total physical
memory available to the system is half of what is populated. Mirrored Channel Mode requires
that Channel 0 and Channel 2, and Channel 1 and Channel 3 must be populated identically with
regards to size and organization. DIMM slot populations within a channel do not have to be
identical but the same DIMM slot location across Channel 0 and Channel 2 and across Channel
1 and Channel 3 must be populated the same.
3.2.2.4.4 Lockstep Channel Mode
In Lockstep Channel Mode, each memory access is a 128-bit data access that spans Channel 0
and Channel 1, and Channel 2 and Channel 3. Lockstep Channel mode is the only RAS mode
that allows SDDC for x8 devices. Lockstep Channel Mode requires that Channel 0 and Channel
1, and Channel 2 and Channel 3 must be populated identically with regards to size and
organization. DIMM slot populations within a channel do not have to be identical but the same
DIMM slot location across Channel 0 and Channel 1 and across Channel 2 and Channel 3 must
be populated the same.
3.2.3 Processor Integrated I/O Module (IIO)
The processor’s integrated I/O module provides features traditionally supported through chipset
components. The integrated I/O module provides the following features:

3.2.3.1 PCI Express* Interfaces
The integrated I/O module incorporates the PCI Express* interface and supports up to 40 lanes of
PCI Express*. Following are key attributes of the PCI Express* interface:
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR supports PCI-e slots from two
processors:
From first processor:
Slot 1: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector
Slot 2: PCIe Gen3 x8 connector
Slot 3: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector
From second processor:
Slot 4: PCIe Gen3 x8 connector
Slot 5: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector
Slot 6: PCIe Gen3 x8 connector
Slot 7: PCIe Gen3 x16 connector
Slot 8: PCIe Gen2 x4 electrical with x8 physical connector.
Note: System will have video output on PCIe slots from first processor by default. If need add-in video
card output on slots from second processor, please refer System Service guide to change Bios setup.
3.2.3.2 DMI2 Interface to the PCH
The platform requires an interface to the legacy Southbridge (PCH) which provides basic legacy
functions required for the server platform and operating systems. Since only one PCH is required
and allowed for the system, any sockets which do not connect to PCH would use this port as a
standard x4 PCI Express* 2.0 interface.
3.2.3.3 Integrated IOAPIC
Provides support for PCI Express* devices implementing legacy interrupt messages without interrupt
sharing.
3.2.3.4 Non Transparent Bridge
PCI Express* non-transparent bridge (NTB) acts as a gateway that enables high performance, low
overhead communication between two intelligent subsystems; the local and the remote subsystems.
The NTB allows a local processor to independently configure and control the local subsystem,
provides isolation of the local host memory domain from the remote host memory domain while
enabling status and data exchange between the two domains.

Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
36 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
be combined on a single set of hard drives, such as RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two disks. Other RAID
features include hot-spare support, SMART alerting, and RAID 0 auto replace.
3.3.7 PCI Interface
The Intel® C600-A chipset PCI interface provides a 33 MHz, Revision 2.3 implementation. The Intel®
C600-A chipset integrates a PCI arbiter that supports up to four external PCI bus masters in addition to
the internal Intel® C600-A chipset requests. This allows for combinations of up to four PCI down devices
and PCI slots.
3.3.8 Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface
The Intel® C600-A chipset implements an LPC Interface as described in the LPC 1.1 Specification. The
Low Pin Count (LPC) bridge function of the Intel® C600-A resides in PCI Device 31: Function 0. In

3.3.10 Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt Controller)
The DMA controller incorporates the logic of two 82C37 DMA controllers, with seven independently
programmable channels. The Intel® C600-A chipset supports LPC DMA through the Intel® C600-A
chipset’s DMA controller.
The timer/counter block contains three counters that are equivalent in function to those found in one
82C54 programmable interval timer. These three counters are combined to provide the system timer
function, and speaker tone.
The Intel® C600-A chipset provides an ISA-Compatible Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) that
incorporates the functionality of two 82C59 interrupt controllers. In addition, the Intel® C600-A chipset
supports a serial interrupt scheme.
All of the registers in these modules can be read and restored. This is required to save and restore
system state after power has been removed and restored to the platform.
3.3.11 Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC)
In addition to the standard ISA compatible Programmable Interrupt controller (PIC) described in the
previous section, the Intel® C600-A incorporates the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC).
3.3.12 Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers
The Intel® C600-A chipset has up to two Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) host controllers that
support USB high-speed signaling. High-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers up to 480 Mb/s which is 40
times faster than full-speed USB. The Intel® C600-A chipset supports up to fourteen USB 2.0 ports. All
fourteen ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.
3.3.13 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

a full memory-mapped or IO mapped interface along with a 64 bit address master support for systems
using more than 4 GB of physical memory and DMA (Direct Memory Addressing) mechanisms for high
performance data transfers. Its bus master capabilities enable the component to process high-level
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Functional Architecture
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 37
commands and perform multiple operations; this lowers processor utilization by off-loading
communication tasks from the processor. Two large configurable transmit and receive FIFOs (up to 20 KB
each) help prevent data underruns and overruns while waiting for bus accesses. This enables the
integrated LAN controller to transmit data with minimum interframe spacing (IFS).
The LAN controller can operate at multiple speeds (10/100/1000 MB/s) and in either full duplex or half
duplex mode. In full duplex mode the LAN controller adheres with the IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
Specification. Half duplex performance is enhanced by a proprietary collision reduction mechanism.
3.3.14 RTC
The Intel® C600-A chipset contains a real-time clock with 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM. The real-time
clock performs two key functions: keeping track of the time of day and storing system data. The RTC
operates on a 32.768 KHz crystal and a 3 V battery.
3.3.15 GPIO
Various general purpose inputs and outputs are provided for custom system design. The number of
inputs and outputs varies depending on the Intel® C600-A chipset configuration.
3.3.16 Enhanced Power Management
The Intel® C600-A chipset’s power management functions include enhanced clock control and various
low-power (suspend) states (for example, Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk). A hardware-based
thermal management circuit permits software-independent entrance to low-power states. The Intel® C600-
A chipset contains full support for the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification,
Revision 4.0a.
3.3.17 Manageability
In addition to Intel AMT the Intel® C600-A chipset integrates several functions designed to manage the
system and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system management functions
are designed to report errors, diagnose the system, and recover from system lockups without the aid of
an external microcontroller.
3.3.18 System Management Bus (SMBus* 2.0)
The Intel® C600-A chipset contains a SMBus* Host interface that allows the processor to communicate
with SMBus* slaves. This interface is compatible with most I2C devices. Special I2C commands are
implemented.
The Intel® C600-A chipset’s SMBus* host controller provides a mechanism for the processor to initiate
communications with SMBus* peripherals (slaves). Also, the Intel® C600-A chipset supports slave
functionality, including the Host Notify protocol. Hence, the host controller supports eight command
protocols of the SMBus* interface (see System Management Bus (SMBus*) Specification, Version 2.0):
Quick Command, Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block
Read/Write, and Host Notify.
The Intel® C600-A chipset’s SMBus* also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking for data
robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address to all SMBus*
devices.
3.3.19 Integrated NVSRAM controller
The Intel® C600-A chipset has an integrated NVSRAM controller that supports up to 32KB external device.
The host processor can read and write data to the NVSRAM component.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
38 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
3.3.20 Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d)
The Intel® C600-A chipset provides hardware support for implementation of Intel® Virtualization
Technology with Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d). Intel VT-d consists of technology components that support the
virtualization of platforms based on Intel® Architecture Processors. Intel VT-d Technology enables
multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like a
virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is allocated its
own subset of host physical memory.
3.3.21 JTAG Boundary-Scan
The Intel® C600-A chipset adds the industry standard JTAG interface and enables Boundary-Scan in
place of the XOR chains used in previous generations of chipsets. Boundary-Scan can be used to ensure
device connectivity during the board manufacturing process. The JTAG interface allows system
manufacturers to improve efficiency by using industry available tools to test the Intel® C600-A chipset on
an assembled board. Since JTAG is a serial interface, it eliminates the need to create probe points for
every pin in an XOR chain. This eases pin breakout and trace routing and simplifies the interface between
the system and a bed-of-nails tester.
3.3.22 KVM/Serial Over Lan (SOL) Function
These functions support redirection of keyboard, mouse, and text screen to a terminal window on a
remote console. The keyboard, mouse, and text redirection enables the control of the client machine
through the network. Text, mouse, and keyboard redirection allows the remote machine to control and
configure the client by entering BIOS setup. The KVM/SOL function emulates a standard PCI serial port
and redirects the data from the serial port to the management console using LAN. KVM has additional
requirements of internal graphics and SOL may be used when KVM is not supported.
3.3.23 On-board SAS/SATA Support and Options
The Intel® C600 chipset provides storage support by two integrated controllers: AHCI and SCU. By
default the server board will support up to 10 SATA ports: Two white 6Gb/sec SATA ports from the
AHCI controller labeled as “SATA_0” and “SATA_1” and two MINISAS 3Gb/sec SATA/SAS ports
routed from the SCU controller labeled as “SCU0 (PORT0-3) and “SCU1(PORT4-7).
The SCU Port can be configured with the two embedded software RAID options:

4.2 Server Management Functional Specifications
4.2.1 BMC Internal Timestamp Clock
The BMC maintains an internal timestamp clock that is used by various BMC subsystems, for example,
time stamping SEL entries. As part of BMC initialization after AC power is applied or the BMC is reset, the
BMC initializes this internal clock to the value retrieved from the SSB component’s RTC from a SMBus*
slave read operation. This is the system RTC and is on the battery power well so it maintains the current
time even when there is no AC supplied to the system.
4.2.1.1 System Clock Synchronization
The BIOS must send the Set SEL Time command with the current system time to the BMC during
system Power-on Self Test (POST). Synchronization during very early POST is preferred, so that any
SEL entries recorded during system boot can be accurately time stamped. Additionally, during sleep state
transitions other than S0 the BIOS will synchronize the time.
If the time is modified through an OS interface, then the BMC’s time is not synchronized until the next
system reboot.
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
52 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
4.2.2 System Event Log (SEL)
The BMC implements the system event log as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification, Version 2.0. The SEL is accessible regardless of the system power state through the
BMC's in-band and out-of-band interfaces.
The BMC allocates 95231 bytes (approximately 93 KB) of non-volatile storage space to store system
events. The SEL timestamps may not be in order. Up to 3,639 SEL records can be stored at a time. Any
command that results in an overflow of the SEL beyond the allocated space is rejected with an “Out of
Space” IPMI completion code (C4h).
4.2.3 Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository
The BMC implements the sensor data record (SDR) repository as specified in the Intelligent Platform
Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. The SDR is accessible through the BMC’s in-band and
out-of-band interfaces regardless of the system power state The BMC allocates 65,519 bytes of non-
volatile storage space for the SDR.
4.2.4 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Inventory Device
The BMC implements the interface for logical FRU inventory devices as specified in the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. This functionality provides commands used for
accessing and managing the FRU inventory information. These commands can be delivered through all
interfaces.
The BMC provides FRU device command access to its own FRU device and to the FRU devices
throughout the server. The FRU device ID mapping is defined in the Platform Specific Information. The
BMC controls the mapping of the FRU device ID to the physical device.
4.2.5 BMC Beep Codes
The BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes are
sounded each time the problem is discovered (for example, on each power-up attempt), but are
not sounded continuously. Common supported codes are listed in below Table
Additional platform-specific beep codes can be found in the appropriate Platform Specific
Information. Each digit in the code is represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal
to the digit.

4.2.6 Diagnostic Interrupt (NMI) Button
The BMC generates an NMI pulse under certain conditions. The BMC-generated NMI pulse duration is at
least 30 ms. Once an NMI has been generated by the BMC, the BMC does not generate another NMI
until the system has been reset or powered down.
The following actions cause the BMC to generate an NMI pulse:
1. Receiving a Chassis Control command to pulse the diagnostic interrupt. This command does not
cause an event to be logged in the SEL.
2. Watchdog timer pre-timeout expiration with NMI/diagnostic interrupt pre-timeout action enabled.
The following table shows the behavior regarding NMI signal generation and event logging by the
BMC.

4.2.7 BMC Watchdog
The BMC FW is increasingly called upon to perform system functions that are time-critical in that failure to
provide these functions in a timely manner can result in system or component damage. Intel®
S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms introduce a BMC watchdog feature to provide a safe-guard
against this scenario by providing an automatic recovery mechanism. It also can provide automatic
recovery of functionality that has failed due to a fatal FW defect triggered by a rare sequence of events or
a BMC hang due to some type of HW glitch (for example, power).
This feature is comprised of a set of capabilities whose purpose is to detect misbehaving subsections of
BMC firmware, the BMC CPU itself, or HW subsystems of the BMC component, and to take appropriate
action to restore proper operation. The action taken is dependent on the nature of the detected failure and
may result in a restart of the BMC CPU, one or more BMC HW subsystems, or a restart of malfunctioning
FW subsystems.
The BMC watchdog feature will only allow up to three resets of the BMC CPU (such as HW
reset) or entire FW stack (such as a SW reset) before giving up and remaining in the uBOOT
code. This count is cleared upon cycling of power to the BMC or upon continuous operation of
the BMC without a watchdog-generated reset occurring for a period of > 30 minutes. The BMC
FW logs a SEL event indicating that a watchdog-generated BMC reset (either soft or hard reset)
has occurred. This event may be logged after the actual reset has occurred. Refer sensor

section for details for the related sensor definition. The BMC will also indicate a degraded
system status on the Front Panel Status LED after an BMC HW reset or FW stack reset. This
state (which follows the state of the associated sensor) will be cleared upon system reset or (AC
or DC) power cycle.
Note: A reset of the BMC may result in the following system degradations that will require a
system reset or power cycle to correct:
1. Timeout value for the rotation period can be set using this parameter; potentially incorrect
ACPI Power State reported by the BMC.
2. Reversion of temporary test modes for the BMC (for example, as set through Set SM Signal
command) back to normal operational modes.
3. FP status LED and DIMM fault LEDs may not reflect BIOS detected errors.
4.3 Sensor Monitoring
4.3.1 Overview
The BMC monitors system hardware and reports system health. The information gathered from physical
sensors is translated into IPMI sensors as part of the “IPMI Sensor Model”. The BMC also reports various
system state changes by maintaining virtual sensors that are not specifically tied to physical hardware.
This section describes the BMC sensors as well as describing how specific sensor types are modeled.
Unless otherwise specified, the term “sensor” refers to the IPMI sensor-model definition of a sensor.

Xeon®
Processor E5
4600/2600/2400/1600/1400 Product Families
Specific server boards may only implement a sub-set of sensors and/or may include additional sensors.
The system-specific details of supported sensors and events are described in the Appendix of this
document. The actual sensor name associated with a sensor number may vary between server boards or
systems.
Sensor Type Codes
Sensor table given below lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor
type, name, supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief description of the
sensor purpose. Refer to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0 for
sensor and event/reading-type table information.
Sensor Type
The sensor type references the values in the Sensor Type Codes table in the Intelligent Platform
Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0. It provides a context to interpret
the sensor.
Event/Reading Type
The event/reading type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges and the
Generic Event/Reading Type Code tables in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification Second Generation v2.0. Digital sensors are specific type of discrete sensors that
only have two states.
Event Thresholds/Triggers
The following event thresholds are supported for threshold type sensors:
- [u,l][nr,c,nc] upper non-recoverable, upper critical, upper non-critical, lower
non-recoverable, lower critical, lower non-critical uc, lc upper critical, lower critical
Event triggers are supported event-generating offsets for discrete type sensors. The offsets can
be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Code or Sensor Type Code tables in the Intelligent
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 55
Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation, Version 2.0, depending on
whether the sensor event/reading type is generic or a sensor-specific response.
Assertion/Deassertion
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events this sensor generates:
- As: Assertion
- De: De-assertion
Readable Value/Offsets
- Readable value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-
discrete type sensors.
- Readable offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable by means
of the Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, event triggers are
readable. Readable offsets consist of the reading type offsets that do not generate
events.
Event Data
Event data is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated sensor.
For threshold-based sensors, these abbreviations are used:
- R: Reading value
- T: Threshold value
Rearm Sensors
The rearm is a request for the event status for a sensor to be rechecked and updated upon a
transition between good and bad states. Rearming the sensors can be done manually or
automatically. This column indicates the type supported by the sensor. The following
abbreviations are used in the comment column to describe a sensor:
- A: Auto-rearm
- M: Manual rearm
- I: Rearm by init agent
Default Hysteresis
The hysteresis setting applies to all thresholds of the sensor. This column provides the count of
hysteresis for the sensor, which can be 1 or 2 (positive or negative hysteresis).
Criticality
Criticality is a classification of the severity and nature of the condition. It also controls the
behavior of the front panel status LED.
Standby
Some sensors operate on standby power. These sensors may be accessed and/or generate
events when the main (system) power is off, but AC power is present.
4.3.3 BMC System Management Health Monitoring
The BMC tracks the health of each of its IPMI sensors and report failures by providing a “BMC FW
Health” sensor of the IPMI 2.0 sensor type Management Subsystem Health with support for the Sensor
Failure offset. Only assertions should be logged into the SEL for the Sensor Failure offset. The sensor
number of the failed sensor is provided in event data byte 2, as per the IPMI 2.0 Specification. The BMC
Firmware Health sensor asserts for any sensor when 10 consecutive sensor errors are read. These are
not standard sensor events (that is, threshold crossings or discrete assertions). These are BMC Hardware
Access Layer (HAL) errors like I2C NAKs or internal errors while attempting to read a register. If a
successful sensor read is completed, the counter resets to zero.

4.3.4.1 Processor Status Sensors
The BMC provides an IPMI sensor of type processor for monitoring status information for each processor
slot. If an event state (sensor offset) has been asserted, it remains asserted until one of the following
happens:
1. A Rearm Sensor Events command is executed for the processor status sensor.
2. AC or DC power cycle, system reset, or system boot occurs.
The BMC provides system status indication to the front panel LEDs for processor fault conditions shown
in Table 16.
CPU Presence status is not saved across AC power cycles and therefore will not generate a de-assertion
after cycling AC power.

Note: Fault is not reflected in the processor status sensor.
4.3.4.1.1 Processor Presence
Upon BMC initialization, which occurs when AC power is applied or the BMC is reset, the processor
presence offset is initialized to the deasserted state and then the BMC checks to see if the processor is
present and sets the presence offset accordingly.
This state is updated at each DC power-on and at system resets. The net effect of this is that there
should be one event logged at BMC startup for processor presence for each installed processor,
assuming the SDR is configured to generate the event. No additional events for processor presence are
expected unless the sensor is manually re-armed using an IPMI command or a processor is removed or
inserted. Note that removal and insertion should only occur when AC power is removed from the system
so it is not expected that a SEL entry will be seen for this specific occurrence.
4.3.4.2 Processor Population Fault (CPU Missing) Sensor
The BMC supports a Processor Population Fault sensor for monitoring for the condition in which
processor slots are not populated as required by the platform HW to allow power-on of the
system.
At BMC startup, the BMC will check for the fault condition and set the sensor state accordingly.
The BMC also checks for this fault condition at each attempt to DC power-on the system. At
each DC power-on attempt, a beep code is generated if this fault is detected. Please refer Table
9 (BMC Beep Codes) for beep code details.
The following steps are used to correct the fault condition and clear the sensor state:
1. AC power down the server.
2. Install the missing processor into the correct slot.
3. AC power on the server.
Refer to the applicable platform BMC EPS as to the details of what population rules must be
followed.
4.3.4.3 ERR2 Timeout Monitoring
The BMC supports an ERR2 Timeout Sensor (1 per CPU) that asserts if a CPU’s ERR2 signal has been
asserted for longer than a fixed time period (> 90 seconds). ERR[2] is a processor signal that indicates
when the IIO (Integrated IO module in the processor) has a fatal error which could not be communicated
to the core to trigger SMI. ERR[2] events are fatal error conditions, where the BIOS and OS will attempt to
gracefully handle error, but may not be always do so reliably. A continuously asserted ERR2 signal is an
indication that the BIOS cannot service the condition that caused the error. This is usually because that
condition prevents the BIOS from running.
When an ERR2 timeout occurs, the BMC asserts/deasserts the ERR2 Timeout Sensor, and logs a SEL
event for that sensor. The default behavior for BMC core firmware is to initiate a system reset upon
detection of an ERR2 timeout. The BIOS setup utility provides an option to disable or enable system reset
by the BMC for detection of this condition.

4.3.4.4 CATERR Sensor and Market Segment ID (MSID) Mismatch
The BMC supports a CATERR sensor for monitoring the system CATERR signal.
The CATERR signal is defined as having 3 states; high (no event), pulsed low (possibly fatal may be able
to recover), and low (fatal). All processors in a system have their CATERR pins tied together. The pin is
used as a communication path to signal a catastrophic system event to all CPUs. The BMC has direct
access to this aggregate CATERR signal.
The BMC only monitors for the “CATERR held low” condition. A pulsed low condition is ignored by the
BMC.
If a CATERR-low condition is detected, the BMC logs an error message to the SEL against the
CATERR sensor and then queries each CPU to determine if it was due to an MSID mismatch
condition. An MSID mismatch occurs if a processor is installed into a system board that has
incompatible power capabilities. The MSID mismatch condition is indicated in a processor
machine check MSR. If PECI is non-functional (it isn’t guaranteed in this situation), then MSID
mismatch can’t be detected in that case.
If the CATERR is due to an MSID mismatch, then the BMC will log an additional SEL log
against the MSID Mismatch sensor, light the CPU fault LED, emit a beep code, and let the
system hang. Please refer Table 9 (BMC Beep Codes) for beep code details. If no MSID
mismatch is detected, then the default action after logging the SEL entry is to reset the system.
The BIOS setup utility provides an option to disable or enable system reset by the BMC for
detection of this condition.
4.3.4.5 CATERR Sensor
The BMC supports a CATERR sensor for monitoring the system CATERR signal.
The sensor is rearmed on power-on (AC or DC power on transitions). It is not rearmed on system resets
in order to avoid multiple SEL events that could occur due to a potential reset loop if the CATERR keeps
recurring, which would be the case if the CATERR was due to an MSID mismatch condition.
On EPSD boards, the CATERR signal from each CPU are tied together and routed to the BMC as one
signal. When the BMC detects that this aggregate CATERR signal has asserted, it can then go through
PECI to query each CPU to determine which one was the source of the error and write an OEM code
identifying the CPU slot into an event data byte in the SEL entry. If PECI is non-functional (it isn’t
guaranteed in this situation), then the OEM code should indicate that the source is unknown.

Select the proper altitude that the system is distributed from [300m or less], [301m-900m], [901m-1500m],
[Above 1500m] options. Lower altitude selection can lead to potential thermal risk. And higher altitude
selection provides better cooling but with undesired acoustic and fan power consumption. If the altitude is
known, higher altitude is recommended in order to provide sufficient cooling. The default setting is [301m
– 900m].
4.4.3 Set Fan Profile
[Performance] and [Acoustic] fan profiles are available to select. The Acoustic mode offers best acoustic
experience and appropriate cooling capability covering mainstream and majority of the add-in cards.
Performance mode is designed to provide sufficient cooling capability covering all kinds of add-in cards
on the market. The default setting is [Performance]
4.4.4 Fan PWM Offset
This feature is reserved for manual adjustment to the minimum fan speed curves. The valid
range is from [0 to 100] which stands for 0% to 100% PWM adding to the minimum fan speed.
This feature is valid when Quiet Fan Idle Mode is at Enabled state. The default setting is [0].
4.4.5 Quiet Fan Idle Mode
This feature can be [Enabled] or [Disabled]. If enabled, the fan will either stopped or shift to a
lower speed when the aggregate sensor temperatures are satisfied indicating the system is at
ideal thermal/light loading conditions. When the aggregate sensor temperatures not satisfied,
the fan will shift back to normal control curves. If disabled, the fan will never stopped or shift into
lower fan speed whatever the aggregate sensor temperatures are satisfied or not. The default
setting is [Disabled]
Note:
1. The above features may or may not be in effective depends on the actual thermal
characters of a specific system.
2. Refer to System TPS for the board in Intel chassis thermal and acoustic management

The BMC supports one Power Supply Status sensor for each system power supply module. In
order to track problems in which the PSU firmware is not operating to full capacity, an additional
case (degraded condition if the PSU firmware is not operating to full capacity) is added to the
existing Power Supply Status sensor offset definitions. This is handled by assertion of the
“configuration error” offset of the PSU status sensor. These sensors are only supported for

4.5.2 User Model
The BMC supports the IPMI 2.0 user model. 15 user IDs are supported. These 15 users can be assigned
to any channel. The following restrictions are placed on user-related operations:
1. User names for User IDs 1 and 2 cannot be changed. These are always “” (Null/blank) and “root”
respectively.
2. User 2 (“root”) always has the administrator privilege level.
3. All user passwords (including passwords for 1 and 2) may be modified.
4. User IDs 3-15 may be used freely, with the condition that user names are unique. Therefore, no
other users can be named “” (Null), “root,” or any other existing user name.
4.5.3 LAN Interface
The BMC implements both the IPMI 1.5 and IPMI 2.0 messaging models. These provide out-of-band local
area network (LAN) communication between the BMC and the network.
Run-time determination of LAN channel capabilities can be determined by both standard IPMI defined
mechanisms.
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
66 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
4.5.3.1 IPMI 1.5 Messaging
The communication protocol packet format consists of IPMI requests and responses encapsulated in an
IPMI session wrapper for authentication, and wrapped in an RMCP packet, which is wrapped in an
IP/UDP packet. Although authentication is provided, no encryption is provided, so administrating some
settings, such as user passwords, through this interface is not advised. Session establishment commands
are IPMI commands that do not require authentication or an associated session.
The BMC supports the following authentication types over the LAN interface.
1. None (no authentication)
2. Straight password/key
3. MD5
4.5.3.2 IPMI 2.0 Messaging
IPMI 2.0 messaging is built over RMCP+ and has a different session establishment protocol. The session
commands are defined by RMCP+ and implemented at the RMCP+ level, not IPMI commands.
Authentication is implemented at the RMCP+ level. RMCP+ provides link payload encryption, so it is
possible to communicate private/sensitive data (confidentiality).
The BMC supports the cipher suites identified in Table 24.

Note: Cipher suite 0 defaults to callback privilege for security purposes. This may be changed by any
administrator.
For user authentication, the BMC can be configured with ‘null’ user names, whereby password/key lookup
is done based on ‘privilege level only’, or with non-null user names, where the key lookup for the session
is determined by user name.
IPMI 2.0 messaging introduces payload types and payload IDs to allow data types other than IPMI
commands to be transferred. IPMI 2.0 serial-over-LAN is implemented as a payload type.

4.5.3.3 RMCP/ASF Messaging
The BMC supports RMCP ping discovery in which the BMC responds with a pong message to an
RMCP/ASF ping request. This is implemented per the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification Second Generation v2.0.
4.5.3.4 BMC LAN Channels
The BMC supports three RMII/RGMII ports that can be used for communicating with Ethernet devices.
Two ports are used for communication with the on-board NICs and one is used for communication with an
Ethernet PHY located on an optional add-in card (or equivalent on-board circuitry).
4.5.3.4.1 Baseboard NICs
The specific Ethernet controller (NIC) used on a server is platform-specific but all baseboard device
options provide support for an NC-SI manageability interface. This provides a sideband high-speed
connection for manageability traffic to the BMC while still allowing for a simultaneous host access to the
OS if desired.
The Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) is a DMTF industry standard protocol for the side
band management LAN interface. This protocol provides a fast multi-drop interface for management
traffic.
The baseboard NIC(s) are connected to a single BMC RMII/RGMII port that is configured for RMII
operation. The NC-SI protocol is used for this connection and provides a 100 Mb/s full-duplex multi-drop
interface which allows multiple NICs to be connected to the BMC. The physical layer is based upon RMII,
however RMII is a point-to-point bus whereas NC-SI allows 1 master and up to 4 slaves. The logical layer
(configuration commands) is incompatible with RMII.
Multi-port baseboard NICs on some products will provide support for a dedicated management channel
than can be configured to be hidden from the host and only used by the BMC. This mode of operation is
configured by a BIOS setup option.
4.5.3.4.2 Dedicated Management Channel
An additional LAN channel dedicated to BMC usage and not available to host SW is supported
by an optional add-in card. There is only a PHY device present on the add-in card. The BMC
has a built-in MAC module that uses the RGMII interface to link with the card’s PHY. Therefore,
for this dedicated management interface, the PHY and MAC are located in different devices.
The PHY on the card connects to the BMC’s other RMII/RGMII interface (that is, the one that is
not connected to the baseboard NICs). This BMC port is configured for RGMII usage.
In addition to the use of an add-in card for a dedicated management channel, on systems that
support multiple Ethernet ports on the baseboard, the system BIOS provides a setup option to
allow one of these baseboard ports to be dedicated to the BMC for manageability purposes.
When this is enabled, that port is hidden from the OS.
4.5.3.4.3 Concurrent Server Management Use of Multiple Ethernet Controllers
Provided the HW supports a management link between the BMC and a NIC port, the BMC FW
supports concurrent OOB LAN management sessions for the following combination:
Two on-board NIC ports
One on-board NIC and the optional dedicated add-in management NIC.
Two on-board NICs and optional dedicated add-in management NIC.
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
68 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
All NIC ports must be on different subnets for the above concurrent usage models.
MAC addresses are assigned for management NICs from a pool of up to 3 MAC addresses allocated
specifically for manageability. The total number of MAC addresses in the pool is dependent on the
product HW constraints (for example,a board with 2 NIC ports available for manageability would have a
MAC allocation pool of 2 addresses).For these channels, support can be enabled for IPMI-over-LAN and
DHCP.
For security reasons, embedded LAN channels have the following default settings:
IP Address: Static
All users disabled
IPMI-enabled network interfaces may not be placed on the same subnet. This includes the Intel®
Dedicated Server Management NIC and either of the BMC’s embedded network interfaces.
Host-BMC communication over the same physical LAN connection – also known as “loopback” – is not
supported. This includes “ping” operations.
On baseboards with more than two onboard NIC ports, only the first two ports can be used as BMC LAN
channels. The remaining ports have no BMC connectivity.
Maximum bandwidth supported by BMC LAN channels are as follows:
BMC LAN1 (Baseboard NIC port) ----- 100M (10M in DC off state)
BMC LAN 2 (Baseboard NIC port) ----- 100M (10M in DC off state)
BMC LAN 3 (Dedicated NIC) ----- 1000M
4.5.3.5 Dedicated Management NIC MAC Address
For EPSD Platforms Based on Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 4600/2600/2400/1600/1400 Product Families
each server board has either five or seven MAC addresses assigned to it at the Intel factory. The printed
MAC address is assigned to NIC1 on the server board.
If the platform has two NIC built into the main board then there will be five MAC addresses assigned as
follows:
NIC 1 MAC address (for OS usage)
NIC 2 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 1 (for OS usage)
BMC LAN channel 1 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 2
BMC LAN channel 2 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 3
BMC LAN channel 3 (RMM) MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 4
If the platform has four NIC built into the main board then there will be seven MAC addresses assigned as
follows:
NIC 1 MAC address (for OS usage)
NIC 2 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 1 (for OS usage)
NIC 3 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 2 (for OS usage)
NIC 4 MAC address = NIC 1 MAC address + 3 (for OS usage)
BMC LAN channel 1 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 4
BMC LAN channel 2 MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 5
BMC LAN channel 3 (RMM) MAC address = NIC1 MAC address + 6.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 69
4.5.3.6 IPV6 Support
In addition to IPv4, Intel® S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms support IPv6 for manageability
channels. Configuration of IPv6 is provided by extensions to the IPMI Set and Get LAN Configuration
Parameters commands as well as through a Web Console IPv6 configuration web page.
The BMC supports IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously so they are both configured separately and completely
independently. For example, IPv4 can be DHCP configured while IPv6 is statically configured or vice
versa.
4.5.3.6.1 LAN Failover
The BMC FW provides a LAN failover capability such that the failure of the system HW
associated with one LAN link will result in traffic being rerouted to an alternate link. This
functionality is configurable by IPMI methods as well as by the BMC’s Embedded UI, allowing
for user to specify the physical LAN links constitute the redundant network paths or physical
LAN links constitute different network paths. BMC will support only a all or nothing” approach –
that is, all interfaces bonded together, or none are bonded together.
The LAN Failover feature applies only to BMC LAN traffic. It bonds all available Ethernet
devices but only one is active at a time. When enabled, If the active connection’s leash is lost,
one of the secondary connections is automatically configured so that it has the same IP address
(the next active LAN link will be chosen randomly from the pool of backup LAN links with link
status as “UP”). Traffic immediately resumes on the new active connection.
The LAN Failover enable/disable command may be sent at any time. After it has been enabled,
standard IPMI commands for setting channel configuration that specify a LAN channel other
than the first will return an error code.
Standard IPMI commands for getting channel configuration will return the cached settings for the inactive
channels.
4.5.3.7 BMC IP Address Configuration
Enabling the BMC’s network interfaces requires using the Set LAN Configuration Parameter command to
configure LAN configuration parameter 4, IP Address Source.
4.5.3.8 DHCP BMC Hostname
The BMC allows setting a DHCP Hostname. DHCP Hostname can be set regardless of the IP Address
source configured on the BMC. But this parameter is only used if the IP Address source is set to DHCP.
4.5.3.9 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
The BMC can receive and respond to ARP requests on BMC NICs. Gratuitous ARPs are supported, and
disabled by default.
4.5.3.10 Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
The BMC supports VLAN as defined by IPMI 2.0 specifications. VLAN is supported internally by the BMC,
not through switches. VLAN provides a way of grouping a set of systems together so that they form a
logical network. This feature can be used to set up a management VLAN where only devices which are
members of the VLAN will receive packets related to management and members of the VLAN will be
isolated from any other network traffic. Please note that VLAN does not change the behavior of the host
network setting, it only affects the BMC LAN communication.
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
70 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
LAN configuration options are now supported (by means of the Set LAN Config Parameters command,
parameters 20 and 21) that allow support for 802.1Q VLAN (Layer 2). This allows VLAN headers/packets
to be used for IPMI LAN sessions. VLAN ID’s are entered and enabled by means of parameter 20 of the
Set LAN Config Parameters IPMI command. When a VLAN ID is configured and enabled, the BMC only
accepts packets with that VLAN tag/ID. Conversely, all BMC generated LAN packets on the channel
include the given VLAN tag/ID. Valid VLAN ID’s are 1 through 4094, VLAN ID’s of 0 and 4095 are
reserved, per the 802.1Q VLAN specification. Only one VLAN can be enabled at any point in time on a
LAN channel. If an existing VLAN is enabled, it must first be disabled prior to configuring a new VLAN on
the same LAN channel.
Parameter 21 (VLAN Priority) of the Set LAN Config Parameters IPMI command is now implemented and
a range from 0-7 will be allowed for VLAN Priorities. Please note that bits 3 and 4 of Parameter 21 are
considered Reserved bits.
Parameter 25 (VLAN Destination Address) of the Set LAN Config Parameters IPMI command is not
supported and returns a completion code of 0x80 (parameter not supported) for any read/write of
parameter 25.
If the BMC IP address source is DHCP, then the following behavior is seen:
If the BMC is first configured for DHCP (prior to enabling VLAN), when VLAN is enabled,
the BMC performs a discovery on the new VLAN in order to obtain a new BMC IP address.
If the BMC is configured for DHCP (before disabling VLAN), when VLAN is disabled, the
BMC performs a discovery on the LAN in order to obtain a new BMC IP address.
If the BMC IP address source is Static, then the following behavior is seen:
If the BMC is first configured for static (prior to enabling VLAN), when VLAN is enabled,
the BMC has the same IP address that was configured before. It is left to the management
application to configure a different IP address if that is not suitable for VLAN.
If the BMC is configure for static (prior to disabling VLAN), when VLAN is disabled, the
BMC has the same IP address that was configured before. It is left to the management
application to configure a different IP address if that is not suitable for LAN.
4.5.3.11 Secure Shell (SSH)
Secure Shell (SSH) connections are supported for one SMASH-CLP session to the BMC.
4.5.3.12 Serial-over-LAN (SOL 2.0)
The BMC supports IPMI 2.0 SOL.
IPMI 2.0 introduced a standard serial-over-LAN feature. This is implemented as a standard payload type
(01h) over RMCP+.
Three commands are implemented for SOL 2.0 configuration.
1. “Get SOL 2.0 Configuration Parameters” and “Set SOL 2.0 Configuration Parameters”: These
commands are used to get and set the values of the SOL configuration parameters. The parameters
are implemented on a per-channel basis.
2. “Activating SOL”: This command is not accepted by the BMC. It is sent by the BMC when SOL is
activated to notify a remote client of the switch to SOL.
3. Activating a SOL session requires an existing IPMI-over-LAN session. If encryption is used, it should
be negotiated when the IPMI-over LAN session is established. Intel® Server Board S2600IP SOL
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 71
sessions are supported on serial port A (COM1). Intel® Workstation Board S2600IP SOL sessions are
supported on serial port B (COM2).
4.5.3.13 Platform Event Filter (PEF)
The BMC includes the ability to generate a selectable action, such as a system power-off or reset, when a
match occurs to one of a configurable set of events. This capability is called Platform Event Filtering, or
PEF. One of the available PEF actions is to trigger the BMC to send a LAN alert to one or more
destinations.
The BMC supports 20 PEF filters. The first twelve entries in the PEF filter table are pre-configured (but
may be changed by the user). The remaining entries are left blank, and may be configured by the user.

4.5.3.14 LAN Alerting
The BMC supports sending embedded LAN alerts, called SNMP PET (Platform Event traps), and SMTP
email alerts.
The BMC supports a minimum of four LAN alert destinations.
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
72 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
4.5.3.14.1 SNMP Platform Event Traps (PETs)
This feature enables a target system to send SNMP traps to a designated IP address by means of LAN.
These alerts are formatted per the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification Second
Generation v2.0. A MIB file associated with the traps is provided with the BMC firmware to facilitate
interpretation of the traps by external software.
The format of the MIB file is covered under RFC 2578.
4.5.3.15 Alert Policy Table
Associated with each PEF entry is an alert policy that determines which IPMI channel the alert is to be
sent. There is a maximum of 20 alert policy entries. There are no pre-configured entries in the alert policy
table because the destination types and alerts may vary by user. Each entry in the alert policy table
contains four bytes for a maximum table size of 80 bytes.
4.5.3.15.1 E-mail Alerting
The Embedded Email Alerting feature allows the user to receive e-mails alerts indicating issues with the
server. This allows e-mail alerting in an OS-absent (for example, Pre-OS and OS-Hung) situation. This
feature provides support for sending e-mail by means of SMTP, the Simple Mail Transport Protocol as
defined in Internet RC 821. The e-mail alert provides a text string that describes a simple description of
the event. SMTP alerting is configured using the embedded web server.
4.5.3.16 SM-CLP (SM-CLP Lite)
SMASH refers to Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware. SMASH is defined
by a suite of specifications, managed by the DMTF, that standardize the manageability
interfaces for server hardware. CLP refers to Command Line Protocol. SM-CLP is defined by
the Server Management Command Line Protocol Specification (SM-CLP) ver1.0, which is part
of the SMASH suite of specifications. The specifications and further information on SMASH can
be found at the DMTF website (http://www.dmtf.org/).
The BMC provides an embedded “lite” version of SM-CLP that is syntax-compatible but not
considered fully compliant with the DMTF standards.
4.5.3.17 Embedded Web Server
BMC Base manageability provides an embedded web server and an OEM-customizable web
GUI which exposes the manageability features of the BMC base feature set. It is supported
over all on-board NICs that have ma nagement connectivity to the BMC as well as an optional
dedicated add-in management NIC. At least two concurrent web sessions from up to two
different users is supported. The embedded web user interface shall support the following
client web browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0*
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0*
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0*
Mozilla Firefox 3.0*
Mozilla Firefox 3.5*
Mozilla Firefox 3.6*
The embedded web user interface supports strong security (authentication, encryption, and
firewall support) since it enables remote server configuration and control. Embedded web server
uses ports #80 and #443. The user interface presented by the embedded web user interface
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 73
shall authenticate the user before allowing a web session to be initiated. Encryption using 128-
bit SSL is supported. User authentication is based on user id and password.
The GUI presented by the embedded web server authenticates the user before allowing a web
session to be initiated. It presents all functions to all users but grays-out those functions that the
user does not have privilege to execute. (For example, if a user does not have privilege to
power control, then the item shall be displayed in grey-out font in that user’s UI display). The
web GUI also provides a launch point for some of the advanced features, such as KVM and
media redirection. These features are grayed out in the GUI unless the system has been
updated to support these advanced features.
Additional features supported by the web GUI includes:
Presents all the Basic features to the users.
Power on/off/reset the server and view current power state.
Displays BIOS, BMC, ME and SDR version information.
Display overall system health.
Configuration of various IPMI over LAN parameters for both IPV4 and IPV6
Configuration of alerting (SNMP and SMTP).
Display system asset information for the product, board, and chassis.
Display of BMC-owned sensors (name, status, current reading, enabled thresholds),
including color-code status of sensors.
Provides ability to filter sensors based on sensor type (Voltage, Temperature, Fan and
Power supply related)
Automatic refresh of sensor data with a configurable refresh rate.
On-line help.
Display/clear SEL (display is in easily understandable human readable format).
Supports major industry-standard browsers (Microsoft Internet Explorer* and Mozilla
Firefox*).
The GUI session automatically times-out after a user-configurable inactivity period. By
default, this inactivity period is 30 minutes.
Embedded Platform Debug feature - Allow the user to initiate a “diagnostic dump” to a
file that can be sent to Intel for debug purposes.
Virtual Front Panel. The Virtual Front Panel provides the same functionality as the local
front panel. The displayed LEDs match the current state of the local panel LEDs. The
displayed buttons (for example,power button) can be used in the same manner as the
local buttons.
Display of ME sensor data. Only sensors that have associated SDRs loaded will be
displayed.
Ability to save the SEL to a file.
Ability to force HTTPS connectivity for greater security. This is provided through a
configuration option in the UI.

Virtual Front Panel is the module present as “Virtual Front Panel” on the left side in the
embedded web server when "remote Control" tab is clicked.
Main Purpose of the Virtual Front Panel is to provide the front panel functionality virtually.
Virutal Front Panel (VFP) will mimic the status LED and Power LED status and Chassis ID
alone. It is automatically in sync with BMC every 40 seconds.
For any abnormal status LED state, Virtual Front Panel will get the reason behind the
abnormal or status LED changes and displayed in VFP side.
As Virtual Front Panel uses the chassis control command for power actions. It won’t log
the Front button press event since Logging the front panel press event for Virtual Front
Panel press will mislead the administrator.
For Reset from Virtual Front Panel, the reset will be done by a “Chassis control” command.
For Reset from Virtual Front Panel, the restart cause will be because of “Chassis control”
command.
During Power action, Power button/Reset button should not accept the next action until
current Power action is complete and the acknowledgment from BMC is received.
EWS will provide a valid message during Power action until it completes the current Power
action.
The VFP does not have any effect on whether the front panel is locked by “Set Front Panel
Enables” command.
The chassis ID LED provides a visual indication of a system being serviced. The state of
the chassis ID LED is affected by the following actions:
Toggled by turning the chassis ID button on or off.
There is no precedence or lock-out mechanism for the control sources. When a new
request arrives, previous requests are terminated. For example, if the chassis ID button is
pressed, then the chassis ID LED changes to solid on. If the button is pressed again, then
the chassis ID LED turns off.
Note that the chassis ID will turn on because of the original chassis ID button press and
will reflect in the Virtual Front Panel after VFP sync with BMC. Virtual Front Panel won’t
reflect the chassis LED software blinking by the software command as there is no
mechanism to get the chassis ID Led status.
Only Infinite chassis ID ON/OFF by the software command will reflect in EWS during
automatic /manual EWS sync up with BMC.
Virtual Front Panel help should available for virtual panel module.
At present, NMI button in VFP is disabled in Intel® S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server
Platforms. It can be used in future.
4.5.3.19 Embedded Platform Debug
The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable MSRs,
PCI config-space registers, and so on). This feature allows a user to export this data into a file that is
retrievable from the embedded web GUI, as well as through host and remote IPMI methods, for the
purpose of sending to an Intel engineer for an enhanced debugging capability. The files are compressed,
encrypted, and password protected. The file is not meant to be viewable by the end user but rather to
provide additional debugging capability to an Intel support engineer.
4.5.3.20 Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)
The DCMI Specification is an emerging standard that is targeted to provide a simplified management
interface for Internet Portal Data Center (IPDC) customers. It is expected to become a requirement for
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 75
server platforms which are targeted for IPDCs. DCMI is an IPMI-based standard that builds upon a set of
required IPMI standard commands by adding a set of DCMI-specific IPMI OEM commands. Intel®
S1400/S1600/S2400/S2600 Server Platforms will be implementing the mandatory DCMI features in the
BMC firmware (DCMI 1.1 Errata 1 compliance). Please refer to DCMI 1.1 errata 1 spec for details. Only
mandatory commands will be supported. No support for optional DCMI commands. Optional power
management and SEL roll over feature is not supported. DCMI Asset tag will be independent of
baseboard FRU asset Tag. Please refer table DCMI Group Extension Commands for more details on
DCMI commands.
4.5.3.21 Lightweight Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol supported by the BMC for
the purpose of authentication and authorization. The BMC user connects with an LDAP server for login
authentication. This is only supported for non-IPMI logins including the embedded web UI and SM-CLP.
IPMI users/passwords and sessions are not supported over LDAP.
LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and so on) from the BMC’s Embedded Web UI.
LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any NIC configured for system management.
The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation for Linux.
Only open LDAP is supported by BMC. Windows and Novel LDAP are not supported.
4.6 BMC Firmware Update
4.6.1 The BMC firmware release Number
The BMC firmware releases are numbered as follows:
AB.CD.XXX
Where:
CD is a two digit number starting with 00 for the first release. This is the number returned in minor ID in
Get Device ID response.
B is major release number (1 for the first major release typically at first production shipment).
A is point release indicator (A=0 means this is a regular official release, A=1 means this is a point release
for limited distribution). A hex representation of “AB” is returned in major ID in Get Device ID response.
XXX is the build number for internal tracking. This number is returned in OEM bytes of Get Device ID
response.
4.6.2 Boot Recovery Mode
The BMC’s boot block supports firmware transfer updates. The Operational Firmware Transfer mode
preserves several files in the PIA Linux file system. Boot Recovery mode cannot preserve the files
because it does not understand Linux file systems, and treats it as a large binary data section. This
means a Boot Recovery update completely replaces the PIA with the factory default version: an empty
SEL, a default SDR, and default IPMI configuration and user settings.
Boot Recovery mode can successfully complete an update in some situations where the Operational
Firmware Transfer mode will fail. If there is an incompatibility or bug in the operational code causing it to
crash or hang, only a Boot Recovery Mode Update works. Another example is if the flash layout of the
sections changes across an update. Because the operational Firmware Transfer mode tries to preserve
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
76 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
the contents of the PIA section, in this case, it will corrupt the flash where the old PIA section was.
Because the Boot Recovery mode is blindly writing binary data to flash, in this case, it will succeed.
There are two ways to enter Boot Recovery mode:
The Force Firmware Update jumper is asserted when A/C power is applied.
The operational code is corrupt and the boot loader cannot boot.
In the Boot Recovery mode, the BMC only responds to the small set of commands listed above. Only the
KCS SMS interface is supported; USB-based Fast Firmware Update is not supported.
4.6.3 Force Firmware Update Jumper
The Force Firmware Update jumper can be used to put the BMC in Boot Recovery mode for a low-level
update. It causes the BMC to abort its normal boot process and stay in the boot loader without executing
any Linux code.
The jumper is normally in the de-asserted position. The system must be completely powered off (A/C
power removed) before the jumper is moved. After power is re-applied and the firmware update is
complete, the system must be powered off again and the jumper must be returned to the de-asserted
position before normal operation can begin.
There is no boot–block-write protection jumper.
4.6.4 Fast Firmware Update over USB
The BMC supports a Fast Firmware Update mode in addition to the standard KCS SMS interface. This is
a special protocol that goes over the USB connection between the host and the BMC.

4.7 Advanced Management Feature Support
This section explains the advanced management features supported by the BMC firmware.
4.7.1 Enabling Advanced Management Features
The Advanced management features are to be delivered as part of the BMC FW image. The
BMC’s baseboard SPI flash contains code/data for both the Basic and Advanced features. An
optional add-in card Intel® RMM4 lite is used as the activation mechanism. When the BMC FW
initializes, it attempts to access the Intel® RMM4 lite. If the attempt to access Intel® RMM4 lite is
successful, then the BMC activates the Advanced features.
Advanced manageability features are supported over all NIC ports enabled for server
manageability. This includes baseboard NICs as well as the LAN channel provided by the
optional Dedicated NIC add-in card.
RMM4 is comprised of two boards – RMM4 lite and the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC
(DMN). If the optional Dedicated Server Management NIC is not used then the traffic can only go through
the onboard Integrated BMC-shared NIC and share network bandwidth with the host system.

4.7.2 Keyboard, Video, Mouse (KVM) Redirection
The BMC firmware supports keyboard, video, and mouse redirection (KVM) over LAN. This feature is
available remotely from the embedded web server as a Java applet. This feature is only enabled when
the Intel® RMM4 lite is present. The client system must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version
6.0 or later to run the KVM or media redirection applets.
The BMC supports an embedded KVM application (Remote Console) that can be launched from
the embedded web server from a remote console. USB1.1 or USB 2.0 based mouse and
keyboard redirection are supported. It is also possible to use the KVM-redirection (KVM-r)
session concurrently with media-redirection (media-r). This feature allows a user to interactively
use the keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) functions of the remote server as if the user were
physically at the managed server.
KVM redirection console support the following keyboard layouts: English, Dutch, French,
German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
Platform Management Overview Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
78 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
KVM redirection includes a “soft keyboard” function. The “soft keyboard” is used to simulate an
entire keyboard that is connected to the remote system. The “soft keyboard” functionality
supports the following layouts: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
The KVM-redirection feature automatically senses video resolution for best possible screen
capture and provides high-performance mouse tracking and synchronization. It allows remote
viewing and configuration in pre-boot POST and BIOS setup, once BIOS has initialized video.
Other attributes of this feature include:
Encryption of the redirected screen, keyboard, and mouse
Compression of the redirected screen.
Ability to select a mouse configuration based on the OS type.
supports user definable keyboard macros.
KVM redirection feature supports the following resolutions and refresh rates:
640x480 at 60Hz, 72Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz, 100Hz
800x600 at 60Hz, 72Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz
1024x768 at 60Hx, 72Hz, 75Hz, 85Hz
1280x960 at 60Hz
1280x1024 at 60Hz
1600x1200 at 60Hz
1920x1080 (1080p),
1920x1200 (WUXGA)
1650x1080 (WSXGA+)
4.7.2.1 Force-enter BIOS Setup
KVM redirection can present an option to force-enter BIOS Setup. This enables the system to enter F2
setup while booting which is often missed by the time the remote console redirects the video.
4.7.3 Media Redirection
The embedded web server provides a Java applet to enable remote media redirection. This may be used
in conjunction with the remote KVM feature, or as a standalone applet.
The media redirection feature is intended to allow system administrators or users to mount a
remote IDE or USB CD-ROM, floppy drive, or a USB flash disk as a remote device to the server.
Once mounted, the remote device appears just like a local device to the server, allowing system
administrators or users to install software (including operating systems), copy files, update BIOS,
and so on, or boot the server from this device.
The following capabilities are supported:
The operation of remotely mounted devices is independent of the local devices on the
server. Both remote and local devices are useable in parallel.
Either IDE (CD-ROM, floppy) or USB devices can be mounted as a remote device to the
server.
It is possible to boot all supported operating systems from the remotely mounted device
and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG ) and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM ISO files. See the
Tested/supported Operating System List for more information.
Media redirection supports redirection for both a virtual CD device and a virtual
Floppy/USB device concurrently. The CD device may be either a local CD drive or else an
ISO image file; the Floppy/USB device may be either a local Floppy drive, a local USB
device, or else a disk image file.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 79
The media redirection feature supports multiple encryption algorithms, including RC4 and
AES. The actual algorithm that is used is negotiated with the client based on the client’s
capabilities.
A remote media session is maintained even when the server is powered-off (in standby
mode). No restart of the remote media session is required during a server reset or power
on/off. An BMC reset (for example,due to an BMC reset after BMC FW update) will require
the session to be re-established
The mounted device is visible to (and useable by) managed system’s OS and BIOS in both
pre-boot and post-boot states.
The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the
BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.
It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal server (no OS present) using
the remotely mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to configure the OS
during install.
USB storage devices will appear as floppy disks over media redirection. This allows for the installation of
device drivers during OS installation.
If either a virtual IDE or virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, both the virtual IDE
and virtual floppy are presented as bootable devices. It is not possible to present only a single-mounted
device type to the system BIOS.

4.8 Intel®
Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)
4.8.1 Overview
Power management deals with requirements to manage processor power consumption and
manage power at the platform level to meet critical business needs. Node Manager (NM) is a
platform resident technology that enforces power capping and thermal-triggered power capping
policies for the platform. These policies are applied by exploiting subsystem knobs (such as
processor P and T states) that can be used to control power consumption. NM enables data
center power management by exposing an external interface to management software through
which platform policies can be specified. It also implements specific data center power
management usage models such as power limiting, and thermal monitoring.
The NM feature is implemented by a complementary architecture utilizing the ME, BMC, BIOS, and an
ACPI-compliant OS. The ME provides the NM policy engine and power control/limiting functions (referred
to as Node Manager or NM) while the BMC provides the external LAN link by which external management
software can interact with the feature. The BIOS provides system power information utilized by the NM
algorithms and also exports ACPI Source Language (ASL) code used by OS-Directed Power
Management (OSPM) for negotiating processor P and T state changes for power limiting. PMBus*-
compliant power supplies provide the capability to monitoring input power consumption, which is
necessary to support NM.
4.8.1.1 Hardware Requirements
NM is supported only on platforms that have the NM FW functionality loaded and enabled on the
Management Engine (ME) in the SSB and that have a BMC present to support the external LAN interface
to the ME. NM power limiting features requires a means for the ME to monitor input power consumption
for the platform. This capability is generally provided by means of PMBus*-compliant power supplies
although an alternative model using a simpler SMBus* power monitoring device is possible (there is
potential loss in accuracy and responsiveness using non-PMBus* devices). The NM SmaRT/CLST
feature does specifically require PMBus*-compliant power supplies as well as additional hardware on the
baseboard.
4.8.1.2 Features
NM provides feature support for policy management, monitoring and querying, alerts and notifications,
and an external interface protocol. The policy management features implement specific IT goals that can
be specified as policy directives for NM. Monitoring and querying features enable tracking of power
consumption. Alerts and notifications provide the foundation for automation of power management in the
data center management stack. The external interface specifies the protocols that must be supported in
this version of NM.
4.8.1.3 ME Firmware Update
On server platforms, the ME FW uses a single operational image with a limited-functionality
recovery image. In order to upgrade an operational image, a boot to recovery image must be
performed. Unlike last generation platforms, the ME FW does not support an IPMI update
mechanism except for the case that the system is configured with a dual-ME (redundant) image.
In order to conserve flash space, which the ME FW shares with BIOS, EPSD systems only
support a single ME image. For this case, ME update is only supported by means of BIOS
performing a direct update of the flash component. The recovery image only provides the basic
functionality that is required to perform the update; therefore other ME FW features are not
functional therefore when the update is in progress.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Platform Management Overview
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 81
4.8.1.4 SmaRT/CLST
The power supply optimization provided by SmaRT/CLST relies on a platform HW capability as well as
ME FW support. When a PMBus*-compliant power supply detects insufficient input voltage, an
overcurrent condition, or an over-temperature condition, it will assert the SMBAlert# signal on the power
supply SMBus* (that is, the PMBus*). Through the use of external gates, this results in a momentary
assertion of the PROCHOT# and MEMHOT# signals to the processors, thereby throttling the processors
and memory. The ME FW also sees the SMBAlert# assertion, queries the power supplies to determine
the condition causing the assertion, and applies an algorithm to either release or prolong the throttling,
based on the situation.
System power control modes include:
1. SmaRT: Low AC input voltage event; results in a onetime momentary throttle for each
event to the maximum throttle state
2. Electrical Protection CLST: High output energy event; results in a throttling hiccup mode
with fixed maximum throttle time and a fix throttle release ramp time.
3. Thermal Protection CLST: High power supply thermal event; results in a throttling hiccup
mode with fixed maximum throttle time and a fix throttle release ramp time.
When the SMBAlert# signal is asserted, the fans will be gated by HW for a short period (~100ms) to
reduce overall power consumption. It is expected that the interruption to the fans will be of short enough
duration to avoid false lower threshold crossings for the fan tach sensors; however, this may need to be
comprehended by the fan monitoring FW if it does have this side-effect.
ME FW will log an event into the SEL to indicate when the system has been throttled by the
SmaRT/CLST power management feature. This is dependent on ME FW support for this sensor. Please
refer ME FW EPS for SEL log details.
4.8.1.4.1 Dependencies on PMBus*-compliant Power Supply Support
The SmaRT/CLST system feature depends on functionality present in the ME NM SKU. This feature
requires power supplies that are compliant with the PMBus Specification, Revision 1.2.
4.9 EU Lot 6 Mode
The European Union has set forth a stringent standby power consumption target for systems that are
used as primary computing devices in office environments. Owing to the fact in office environments,
pedestal servers are being used more and more as workstations and that Value servers could make their
way into Home servers, this solution is being requested for some pedestal servers. HW support for EU
Lot6 will only be available for specific EPSD pedestal products.
In order to meet the standby power requirements for EU Lot6 it is necessary to remove power to the BMC,
along with other components, when in the S5 state. As this operational mode impacts system feature
support, the user has the option of enabling and disabling this mode from the BIOS setup screen utility.
BIOS is responsible for enabling/disabling the system hardware for EU Lot6 operation. It notifies the BMC
of the current state with the OEM command Set EULot6 Mode. The BMC saves the state in persistent
store and uses it to control special EU Lot6 internal processing during boot, sensor monitoring, and so on
as needed.
Wake-on-LAN (WOL) is not supported in EU Lot6 mode.
4.9.1.1 Impact to System Features
The following system features are lost or impacted when EU Lot6 mode is enabled:
Increased boot time (~15-20s) when system is DC power cycled.
System Security Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
82 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
o This is due to the fact that both the BMC and BIOS are booting at the same time
when the system is powered on (to S0 state). BIOS will need to allow extra time
for the BMC to initialize to the point where it can communicate with BIOS.
Note: Even when EU Lot6 is not enabled and the system is AC cycled, this
increased boot time is applicable if a user immediately attempts to power the system
up (for example, pressing the power button), as in this case both the BMC and BIOS
are booting at the same time.
No LAN manageability when on standby, and therefore no remote OOB power on by
BMC.
No support for SOL or KVM for monitoring the entire boot process.
o Since BMC is initializing at the same time as BIOS, it will not be possible to have
an SOL or KVM session established from the beginning of the system boot.
FP status LED will behave differently (it will be off when on standby) rather than showing
fault conditions present at the time the system was powered down.
No beep code due to uninstalled CPU.
No monitoring of any sensors when on standby.
No detection/logging of any ThermTrip faults.
o These result as the system is shut down by HW so BMC will not be available to
detect that they occurred.
Sensor monitoring after DC power-on will be delayed by the time it takes BMC to
initialize its sensor subsystem (~15 to 20s), possibly losing SEL events or failing to
provide correct FP LED status LED indication.
Note: This delay occurs on each AC cycle even when EU Lot6 mode is disabled.
Chassis intrusion not detected when in standby
5. System Security
5.1 BIOS Password Protection
The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the server setup. Passwords
can restrict entry to the BIOS Setup, restrict use of the Boot Popup menu, and suppress
automatic USB device reordering.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS System Security
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 83
There is also an option to require a Power On password entry in order to boot the system. If the
Power On Password function is enabled in Setup, the BIOS will halt early in POST to request a
password before continuing POST.
Both Administrator and User passwords are supported by the BIOS. An Administrator password
must be installed in order to set the User password. The maximum length of a password is
14 characters. A password can have alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters and it is case
sensitive. Certain special characters are also allowed, from the following set:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = ?
The Administrator and User passwords must be different from each other. An error message will
be displayed if there is an attempt to enter the same password for one as for the other.
The use of “Strong Passwords” is encouraged, but not required. In order to meet the criteria for
a “Strong Password”, the password entered must be at least 8 characters in length, and must
include at least one each of alphabetic, numeric, and special characters. If a “weak” password is
entered, a popup warning message will be displayed, although the weak password will be
accepted.
Once set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. This requires the
Administrator password, and must be done through BIOS Setup or other explicit means of
changing the passwords. Clearing the Administrator password will also clear the User password.
Alternatively, the passwords can be cleared by using the Password Clear jumper if necessary.
Resetting the BIOS configuration settings to default values (by any method) has no effect on the
Administrator and User passwords.
Entering the User password allows the user to modify only the System Time and System Date in
the Setup Main screen. Other setup fields can be modified only if the Administrator password
has been entered. If any password is set, a password is required to enter the BIOS setup.
The Administrator has control over all fields in the BIOS setup, including the ability to clear the
User password and the Administrator password.
It is strongly recommended that at least an Administrator Password be set, since not having set
a password gives everyone who boots the system the equivalent of Administrative access.
Unless an Administrator password is installed, any User can go into Setup and change BIOS
settings at will.
In addition to restricting access to most Setup fields to viewing only when a User password is
entered, defining a User password imposes restrictions on booting the system. In order to
simply boot in the defined boot order, no password is required. However, the F6 Boot popup
prompts for a password, and can only be used with the Administrator password. Also, when a
User password is defined, it suppresses the USB Reordering that occurs, if enabled, when a
new USB boot device is attached to the system. A User is restricted from booting in anything
other than the Boot Order defined in the Setup by an Administrator.
As a security measure, if a User or Administrator enters an incorrect password three times in a
row during the boot sequence, the system is placed into a halt state. A system reset is required
to exit out of the halt state. This feature makes it more difficult to guess or break a password.
In addition, on the next successful reboot, the Error Manager displays a Major Error code 0048,
which also logs a SEL event to alert the authorized user or administrator that a password
System Security Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
84 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
access failure has occurred.
5.2 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Support
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) option is a hardware-based security device that addresses
the growing concern on boot process integrity and offers better data protection. TPM protects
the system start-up process by ensuring it is tamper-free before releasing system control to the
operating system. A TPM device provides secured storage to store data, such as security keys
and passwords. In addition, a TPM device has encryption and hash functions. The server board
implements TPM as per TPM PC Client Specifications revision 1.2 by the Trusted Computing
Group (TCG).
A TPM device is optionally installed onto a high density 14-pin connector labeled “TPM” on the
server board, and is secured from external software attacks and physical theft. A pre-boot
environment, such as the BIOS and operating system loader, uses the TPM to collect and store
unique measurements from multiple factors within the boot process to create a system
fingerprint. This unique fingerprint remains the same unless the pre-boot environment is
tampered with. Therefore, it is used to compare to future measurements to verify the integrity of
the boot process.
After the system BIOS completes the measurement of its boot process, it hands off control to
the operating system loader and in turn to the operating system. If the operating system is
TPMenabled, it compares the BIOS TPM measurements to those of previous boots to make
sure the
system was not tampered with before continuing the operating system boot process. Once the
operating system is in operation, it optionally uses TPM to provide additional system and data
security (for example, Microsoft Vista* supports Bitlocker drive encryption).
5.2.1 TPM security BIOS
The BIOS TPM support conforms to the TPM PC Client Implementation Specification for
Conventional BIOS and to the TPM Interface Specification, and the Microsoft Windows
BitLocker* Requirements. The role of the BIOS for TPM security includes the following:
Measures and stores the boot process in the TPM microcontroller to allow a TPM
enabled operating system to verify system boot integrity.
Produces EFI and legacy interfaces to a TPM-enabled operating system for using TPM.
Produces ACPI TPM device and methods to allow a TPM-enabled operating system to
send TPM administrative command requests to the BIOS.
Verifies operator physical presence. Confirms and executes operating system TPM
administrative command requests.
Provides BIOS Setup options to change TPM security states and to clear TPM
ownership.
For additional details, refer to the TCG PC Client Specific Implementation Specification, the
TCG PC Client Specific Physical Presence Interface Specification, and the Microsoft BitLocker*
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS System Security
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 85
Requirement documents.
5.2.2 Physical Presence
Administrative operations to the TPM require TPM ownership or physical presence indication by
the operator to confirm the execution of administrative operations. The BIOS implements the
operator presence indication by verifying the setup Administrator password.
A TPM administrative sequence invoked from the operating system proceeds as follows:
1. User makes a TPM administrative request through the operating system’s security software.
2. The operating system requests the BIOS to execute the TPM administrative command through TPM
ACPI methods and then resets the system.
3. The BIOS verifies the physical presence and confirms the command with the operator.
4. The BIOS executes TPM administrative command(s), inhibits BIOS Setup entry and boots
directly to the operating system which requested the TPM command(s).
5.2.3 TPM Security Setup Options
The BIOS TPM Setup allows the operator to view the current TPM state and to carry out
rudimentary TPM administrative operations. Performing TPM administrative options through the
BIOS setup requires TPM physical presence verification.
Using BIOS TPM Setup, the operator can turn ON or OFF TPM functionality and clear the TPM
ownership contents. After the requested TPM BIOS Setup operation is carried out, the option
reverts to No Operation.
The BIOS TPM Setup also displays the current state of the TPM, whether TPM is enabled or
disabled and activated or deactivated. Note that while using TPM, a TPM-enabled operating
system or application may change the TPM state independent of the BIOS setup. When an
operating system modifies the TPM state, the BIOS Setup displays the updated TPM state.
The BIOS Setup TPM Clear option allows the operator to clear the TPM ownership key and
allows the operator to take control of the system with TPM. You use this option to clear security
settings for a newly initialized system or to clear a system for which the TPM ownership security
key was lost.
5.2.3.1 Security Screen
To enter the BIOS Setup, press the F2 function key during boot time when the OEM or Intel logo
displays. The following message displays on the diagnostics screen and under the Quiet Boot
logo screen:
Press <F2> to enter setup
When the Setup is entered, the Main screen displays. The BIOS Setup utility provides the
Security screen to enable and set the user and administrative passwords and to lock out the
front panel buttons so they cannot be used. The Intel® Server Board S5520URT provides TPM
settings through the security screen.
To access this screen from the Main screen, select the Security option.

Trusted Execution Technology
The Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-4600/2600/2400/1600 Product Families support Intel® Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel® TXT), which is a robust security environment. Designed to help
protect against software-based attacks, Intel® Trusted Execution Technology integrates new
security features and capabilities into the processor, chipset and other platform components.
When used in conjunction with Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® Trusted Execution
Technology provides hardware-rooted trust for your virtual applications.
This hardware-rooted security provides a general-purpose, safer computing environment
capable of running a wide variety of operating systems and applications to increase the
confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information without compromising the usability of the
platform.
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization
Technology enabled (both VT-x and VT-d), an Intel® Trusted Execution Technology-enabled
processor, chipset and BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel® Trusted Execution
Technology compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a
virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel® Trusted Execution
Technology requires the system to include a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing
Group TPM PC Client specifications, Revision 1.2.
When available, Intel Trusted Execution Technology can be enabled or disabled in the
processor by a BIOS Setup option.
For general information about Intel® TXT, visit the Intel® Trusted Execution Technology website,

Note: Intel® Corporation server boards support peripheral components and can contain a
number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool.
Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these
components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the
system integrator that chooses not to use Intel® developed server building blocks to consult
vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for
their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held
responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside
any of its published operating or non-operating limits.

power on. Pins 2-3 should not be connected for normal system operation.
7.1 BIOS Default and Password Reset Usage Procedure
The BIOS Default (CMOS Clear) and Password Reset recovery features are designed to
achieve the desired operation with minimum system down time. The usage procedure for these
two features has changed from previous generation Intel® boards. The following procedure
outlines the new usage model.
7.1.1 Set BIOS to default (Clearing the CMOS)
1. Power down the server and unplug the AC power cord.
2. Open the server chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation.
3. Move the jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the reset/clear
position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Wait five seconds.
5. Move the jumper back to the default position, covering pins 1 and 2.
6. Close the server chassis and reconnect the AC power cord.
7. Power up the server.
The CMOS is now cleared and you can reset it by going into the BIOS setup.
Note: Removing AC power before performing the CMOS clear operation causes the system to
automatically power up and immediately power down, after the procedure is followed and AC
power is re-applied. If this happens, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and
reinstall the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup utility to
reset the preferred settings.
7.1.2 Clearing the Password
1. Power down the server. Do not unplug the power cord.
2. Open the chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation.
3. Move the jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the password clear
position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Power up the server and then press <F2> to enter the BIOS menu to check if the password is
cleared.
6. Power down the server.

100 Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
7. Open the chassis and move the jumper back to its default position (covering pins 1 and 2).
8. Close the server chassis.
9. Power up the server.
The password is now cleared and you can reset it by going into the BIOS setup.
7.2 Force BMC Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the
BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the
unlikely event the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper
update state, the server boards provide a Force BMC Update jumper that forces the BMC into
the proper update state. In the event the standard BMC firmware update process fails, complete
the following procedure:
1. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
2. Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
3. Move the jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the enabled
position (covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server.
6. Perform the BMC firmware update procedure as documented in the BMC firmware update
package. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility
may generate an error stating the BMC is still in update mode.
7. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
8. Open the server chassis.
9. Move the jumper from the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3) to the disabled position
(covering pins 1 and 2).
10. Close the server chassis.
11. Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the server.
Note: When the Force BMC Update jumper is set to the enabled position, normal BMC
functionality is disabled. You should never run the server with the Force BMC Update jumper
set in this position. You should only use this jumper setting when the standard firmware update
process fails. When the server is running normally, this jumper must remain in the
default/disabled position.
7.3 BIOS Recovery Jumper
The following procedure boots the recovery BIOS and flashes the normal BIOS:
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Move the BIOS recovery jumper to the recovery state.
3. Insert a bootable BIOS recovery media containing the new BIOS image files.
4. Turn on the system power.
Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS Jumper Blocks
Revision 1.2 Intel order number G34153-003 101
The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress, and the system will boot to the EFI shell.
The EFI shell then executes the Startup.nsh batch file to start the flash update process. The user
should then switch off the power and return the recovery jumper to its normal position. The user
should not interrupt the BIOS POST on the first boot after recovery.
When the flash update completes:
1. Remove the recovery media.
2. Turn off the system power.
3. Restore the jumper to its original position.
4. Turn on the system power.
5. Re-flash any custom blocks, such as user binary or language blocks.
The system should now boot using the updated system BIOS.
7.4 ME Force Update Jumper
When performing the standard ME force update procedure, the update utility places the ME into an
update mode, allowing the ME to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely event ME firmware
update process fails due to ME not being in the proper update state, the server board provides an
Integrated BMC Force Update jumper, which forces the ME into the proper update state. The
following procedure should be completed in the event the standard ME firmware update process fails.
1. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
2. Open the server chassis. For instructions, see your server chassis documentation.
3. Move jumper from the default operating position (covering pins 1 and 2) to the enabled position
(covering pins 2 and 3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the AC cord and power up the server.
6. Perform the ME firmware update procedure as documented in the README.TXT file that is
included in the given ME firmware update package (same package as BIOS).
7. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
8. Open the server chassis.
9. Move jumper from the enabled position (covering pins 2 and 3) to the disabled position (covering
pins 1 and 2).
10. Close the server chassis.
11. Reconnect the AC cord and power up the server.

Note: 1. Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components
that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures through its own chassis development and testing that
when Intel® server building blocks are used together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended
thermal requirements of these components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who
chooses not to use Intel® developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating
parameters to determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental
conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not
operate correctly when used outside any of its published operating or non-operating limits.
Disclaimer Note: Intel® ensures the unpackaged server board and system meet the shock requirement
mentioned above through its own chassis development and system configuration. It is the responsibility of
the system integrator to determine the proper shock level of the board and system if the system integrator
chooses different system configuration or different chassis. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible,
if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of its published
operating or non-operating limits.

when AC voltage is applied and the PSON# signal is de-asserted.
9.4.10 Common Mode Noise
The Common Mode noise on any output shall not exceed 350mV pk-pk over the frequency
band of 10Hz to 20MHz. The measurement shall be made across a 100Ω resistor between each
of DC outputs, including ground at the DC power connector and chassis ground (power
subsystem enclosure). The test set-up shall use a FET probe such as Tektronix model P6046 or
equivalent.

9.4.11 Soft Starting
The Power Supply shall contain control circuit which provides monotonic soft start for its outputs
without overstress of the AC line or any power supply components at any specified AC line or
load conditions.
9.4.12 Zero Load Stability Requirements
When the power subsystem operates in a no load condition, it does not need to meet the output
regulation specification, but it must operate without any tripping of over-voltage or other fault
circuitry. When the power subsystem is subsequently loaded, it must begin to regulate and
source current without fault.
9.4.13 Ripple/Noise
The maximum allowed ripple/noise output of the power supply is defined in the table below. This
is measured over a bandwidth of 10Hz to 20MHz at the power supply output connectors. A
10F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor is placed at the point of
measurement.

9.4.14 Timing Requirements
These are the timing requirements for the power supply operation. The output voltages must
rise from 10% to within regulation limits (Tvout_rise) within 2 to 50ms, except for 5VSB - it is
allowed to rise from 1 to 25ms. The +3.3V, +5V and +12V1,+12V2 ,+12V3 output voltages
should start to rise approximately at the same time. All outputs must rise monotonically.
Each output voltage shall reach regulation within 50ms (Tvout_on) of each other during turn on of

Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, AC power must be
removed. With AC power plugged into the server board, 5-V standby is still present even though
the server board is powered off.
This server board supports The Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 product family and E5-2600 v2
product family with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 135 Watts (TDP of up
to 150W only for Workstation board). Previous generations of Intel® Xeon® processors are not
supported.
Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for operating the server board.
On the back edge of the server board are eight diagnostic LEDs that display a sequence of
amber POST codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs during POST, LEDs
display the last POST event run before the hang.
This server board only supports registered DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) and unbuffered DDR3
DIMMs (UDIMMs). Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported.
For the best performance, the number of DDR3 DIMMs installed should be balanced across both
processor sockets and memory channels. For example, a two-DIMM configuration performs
better than a one-DIMM configuration. In a two-DIMM configuration, DIMMs should be installed in
DIMM sockets A1 and D1.
The Intel® Remote Management Module 4 (Intel® RMM4) connector is not compatible with any
previous versions of the Intel® Remote Management Module (Product Order Code – AXXRMM,
AXXRMM2, and AXXRMM3).
Clear the CMOS with AC power cord plugged. Removing the AC power before performing the
CMOS clear operation causes the system to automatically power up and immediately power
down after the CMOS clear procedure is followed and AC power is re-applied. If this happens,
remove the AC power cord, wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect the AC power cord. Power up
the system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup utility to reset the desired settings.
Normal Integrated BMC functionality is disabled with the BMC Force Update jumper set to the
“enabled” position (pins 2-3). The server should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper
set in this position and should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails.
This jumper should remain in the default (disabled) position (pins 1- 2) when the server is running
normally.
When performing a normal BIOS update procedure, the BIOS recovery jumper must be set to its
default position (pins 1-2).

Appendix B: BMC Sensor Tables
This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information about the sensor type, name,
supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief description of the sensor
purpose. See the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0 for sensor and
event/reading-type table information.
Sensor Type Codes
Sensor table given below lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor
type, name, supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief description of the
sensor purpose. Refer to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0 for
sensor and event/reading-type table information.
Sensor Type
The sensor type references the values in the Sensor Type Codes table in the Intelligent Platform
Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0. It provides a context to interpret
the sensor.
Event/Reading Type
The event/reading type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges and the
Generic Event/Reading Type Code tables in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Specification Second Generation v2.0. Digital sensors are specific type of discrete sensors that
only have two states.
Event Thresholds/Triggers
The following event thresholds are supported for threshold type sensors:
- [u,l][nr,c,nc] upper non-recoverable, upper critical, upper non-critical, lower
non-recoverable, lower critical, lower non-critical uc, lc upper critical, lower critical
Event triggers are supported event-generating offsets for discrete type sensors. The offsets can
be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Code or Sensor Type Code tables in the Intelligent
Platform Management Interface Specification Second Generation v2.0, depending on whether the
sensor event/reading type is generic or a sensor-specific response.
Assertion/Deassertion
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events this sensor generates:
- As: Assertion
- De: De-assertion
Readable Value/Offsets
- Readable value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-
discrete type sensors.
- Readable offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable by means
of the Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, event triggers are
readable. Readable offsets consist of the reading type offsets that do not generate
events.
Event Data
Event data is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated sensor.
For threshold-based sensors, these abbreviations are used:
- R: Reading value
- T: Threshold value
Rearm Sensors
Appendix B: BMC Sensor Tables Intel® Server Board S2600IP and Intel® Workstation Board W2600CR TPS
Intel order number G34153-003 Revision 1.2
120
The rearm is a request for the event status for a sensor to be rechecked and updated upon a
transition between good and bad states. Rearming the sensors can be done manually or
automatically. This column indicates the type supported by the sensor. The following
abbreviations are used in the comment column to describe a sensor:
- A: Auto-rearm
- M: Manual rearm
- I: Rearm by init agent
Default Hysteresis
The hysteresis setting applies to all thresholds of the sensor. This column provides the count of
hysteresis for the sensor, which can be 1 or 2 (positive or negative hysteresis).
Criticality
Criticality is a classification of the severity and nature of the condition. It also controls the
behavior of the front panel status LED.
Standby
Some sensors operate on standby power. These sensors may be accessed and/or generate
events when the main (system) power is off, but AC power is present.

Notes: 1. Redundancy sensors will be only present on systems with appropriate hardware to support redundancy (for instance, fan or power supply).
2. This is only applicable when the system doesn't support redundant fans. When fan redundancy is supported, then the contribution to system state is
driven by the fan redundancy sensor.

Appendix D: POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder
During the system boot process, the BIOS executes a number of platform configuration
processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each configuration
routine is started, the BIOS displays the POST code to the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the
back edge of the server board. To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST
process, the Diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST process that was executed.
Each POST code is represented by a sequence of eight amber diagnostic LEDs. The POST
codes are divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. The upper nibble bits are
represented by diagnostic LEDs #4, #5, #6, and #7. The lower nibble bits are represented by
diagnostics LEDs #0, #1, #2, and #3. If the bit is set in the upper and lower nibbles, then the
corresponding LED is lit. If the bit is clear, then the corresponding LED is off.
The diagnostic LED #7 is labeled as “MSB”, and the diagnostic LED #0 is labeled as “LSB”.

Memory Initialization at the beginning of POST includes multiple functions, including: discovery,
channel training, validation that the DIMM population is acceptable and functional, initialization
of the IMC and other hardware settings, and initialization of applicable RAS configurations.
When a major memory initialization error occurs and prevents the system from booting with data
integrity, a beep code is generated, the MRC will display a fatal error code on the diagnostic
LEDs, and a system halt command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do NOT change the state
of the System Status LED, and they do NOT get logged as SEL events. The following table lists
all MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the Diagnostic LEDs.

Appendix E: POST Error Messages and Handling
Most error conditions encountered during POST are reported using POST Error Codes. These
codes represent specific failures, warnings, or are informational. POST Error Codes may be
displayed in the Error Manager display screen, and are always logged to the System Event Log
(SEL). Logged events are available to System Management applications, including Remote and
Out of Band (OOB) management.
There are exception cases in early initialization where system resources are not adequately
initialized for handling POST Error Code reporting. These cases are primarily Fatal Error
conditions resulting from initialization of processors and memory, and they are handed by a
Diagnostic LED display with a system halt.
The following table lists the supported POST Error Codes. Each error code is assigned an error
type which determines the action the BIOS will take when the error is encountered. Error types
include Minor, Major, and Fatal. The BIOS action for each is defined as follows:
Minor: The error message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen,
and an error is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded state.
The user may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option setting
in the BIOS setup does not have any effect on this error.
Major: The error message is displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is
logged to the SEL. The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup determines
whether the system pauses to the Error Manager for this type of error so the user can
take immediate corrective action or the system continues booting.
Note that for 0048 “Password check failed”, the system halts, and then after the next
reset/reboot will displays the error code on the Error Manager screen.
Fatal: The system halts during post at a blank screen with the text “Unrecoverable
fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved” and “Press <F2>
to enter setup” The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup does not have
any effect with this class of error.
When the operator presses the F2 key on the keyboard, the error message is displayed
on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the SEL with the error code. The
system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the faulty
part and restart the system.
Note: The POST error codes in the following table are common to all current generation Intel
server platforms. Features present on a given server board/system will determine which of the
listed error codes are supported.

POST Error Beep Codes
The following table lists the POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the
BIOS uses these beep codes to inform users on error conditions. The beep code is followed by
a user-visible code on the POST Progress LEDs

failure
NA
BIOS recovery has failed. This typically happens so quickly
after recovery us initiated that it sounds like a 2-4 beep
code.
The Integrated BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes
are sounded each time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt, but are
not sounded continuously. Codes that are common across all Intel server boards and systems
that use same generation chipset are listed in the following table. Each digit in the code is
represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.
