The MegaRAC M300V card is a high-end OPMA service processor based on AMI's MG 9091B
(Verbena II) System on Chip (SOC). The MegaRAC M300V card allows for complete server
management, with text and graphical redirection, in a 2.50' x 2.75' form factor. The MegaRAC
M300V card enables OEMs and motherboard manufacturers to easily integrate KVM server
management into their server and board designs.
The MegaRAC M300V card is a 2.5" x 2.75" daughter card module, which implements AMI's
extensive IPMI and KVM/IP technology in a management card solution compatible with all Intel
and AMD -type motherboards with OPMA connector. The module interfaces with various
components on the motherboard to manage the server efficiently.
The MegaRAC M300V card is based on AMI's MG 9091 (Verbena II) highly integrated System
on Chip (SOC). Verbena II SOC provides both Serial over LAN and KVM over LAN capability,
as well as a 10/100 Base-T LAN connection for dedicated management LAN. Serial over LAN
allows for remote operation of the server via a terminal interface, connected via an RS232 link.
KVM over LAN allows for remote server operation that adds graphical redirection to text, using
the server’s video output and keyboard and mouse inputs.
The MegaRAC M300V card features video capture of up to 1280 x 1024, applying AMI's
AAVICAII compression engine, which uses intelligent algorithms to significantly reduce network
traffic and provide high-performance redirection. The engine interfaces with the server’s DVO
video interface and USB bus.
The MegaRAC M300V card implements media redirection for the CD/DVD/ROM drive and
floppy drive at the same time. This feature enables remote installation of the operating system or
applications.

Acronyms and Terminology
This section lists the definitions of acronyms and terms used in this specification. In some of the
definitions, the IPMI Specification is referred to.
Term Definition
BIOS Basic Input Output System. This is the boot firmware on a standard PC system (including servers). It also
provides some abstraction for system hardware.
BMC Baseboard Management Controller. This is the main component of the OPMA subsystem that provides IPMI
command processing, alerting, error logging, and so on in compliance with the IPMI specification.
BT IPMI’s Block Transfer command interface.
CLI Command Line Interface. This is a text-based interface to a BMC.
CMOS Commercial Metal Oxide Semiconductor. This term refers to a battery-backed storage element found on legacy
PC systems.

DDC Display Data Channel. Provides plug-and-play data to whatever device the monitor is plugged into.
DDWG Digital Display Working Group—owns DVI specification.
DVI Digital Visual Interface. A set of buses for moving video data within a system. DVI-D digitally encodes the
video data and then puts it out onto a bus. DVI-A is simply the same analog video signals seen on a standard
VGA connector. DVI-I is the union of DVI-D and DVI-A signals to provide both methods of video information
transmission over a single cable and/or connector.
FRU Field Replaceable Unit. See the IPMI specification for details.

cost sensor devices. An I2C device interfaces to the system via the I2C bus.
ICMB Intelligent Chassis Management Bus. An IPMI-defined bus for connecting management processors that exist in
separate physical chassis. See the IPMI specification for details.
IHV Independent Hardware Vendor. In this document the IHV is American Megatrends Inc.
IPMB Intelligent Platform Management Bus. An IPMI-defined bus for connecting management processors that exist
in a single physical chassis. See IPMI specification for details.

LUN IPMI Logical Unit Number
mCard This is the generic name for an OPMA-compliant Management Card. It is a modular, connector based
management subsystem which contains the BMC and associated hardware resources. In this document,
“mCard”, “OPMA feature card” and MegaRAC M300V card are used interchangeably.
NIC Network Interface Chip (a/k/a Ethernet controller). Typically includes an Ethernet Media Access Controller
and may also include an integrated physical layer (PHY).
ODM Original Design Manufacturer. Used in this specification to refer to the developers of motherboards that are
used in a completed server system.
OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer. Used in this specification to refer to the server system manufacturer.
OOB Out Of Band. A platform hardware management communications channel that connects a remote console
directly to the BMC. This channel is working even when the managed platform is in a soft off state.
OPMA Open Platform Management Architecture. This acronym is used in several contexts as follows:
OPMA architecture—This is the overall description of the way OPMA subsystem cards connect to and interact
with the motherboard. It includes not only the OPMA connector and associated electrical specification, but
required firmware interfaces as well as other resources located on the motherboard that are required to support
the intended usage model. The OPMA architecture is described in this specification.
OPMA subsystem—An implementation of the OPMA architecture on the motherboard taken together with an
OPMA feature card.
OPMA feature card—This is a feature board that contains the majority of the management subsystem
hardware. The term “mCard” (management card) is often used for this in the interest of brevity.
OPMA connector—This is the connector into which an OPMA feature card (MegaRAC M300V card) is
plugged to provide a given system hardware management feature set.

Chapter One : Introduction 5
Term Definition

6 MegaRAC® M300V Card Implementer’s Reference and User’s Guide
Conventions
The following table describes the conventions used in this specification.
Term Definition
Down solution This refers to a basic, BMC-based, IPMI 1.5-compliant management subsystem that is
soldered to the motherboard.
OPMA When OPMA is used as a noun, it should be taken by the reader to mean the OPMA
specification.
Upgrade kit This refers to a mCard which is used to add enhanced capabilities to a server that employs a
down solution.
Hardware signal names OPMA hardware signal names are presented in capital letters with underscores between
words. If the name ends with “L” then the signal is low true. If the name does not end with
“L”, it is high true.
Example: MCARD_CLR_CMOS_L
IPMI command names The names of all IPMI commands are presented with no spaces between the words in the
name. Only the first letter of each word is capitalized. Example: GetSystemTypeIdentifier
IPMI command parameters The names of all IPMI command parameters are presented with spaces between the words in
the name. Only the first letter of each word is capitalized unless the word is an acronym or
abbreviation.
Example: Interface ID
ms Abbreviation for millisecond(s) (1/1,000t
h
of a second)
μs Abbreviation for microsecond(s) (1/1,000,000t
h
of a second)
h Suffix for a number expressed in hexadecimal. Every four digit set is separated by an
underscore for readability.
Example: 1234_5678h
Note: Decimal is the default radix.
b Prefix for a number expressed in binary. Every four digits set is separated by an underscore
for readability.
Example: 1010_1101b
Note: Decimal is the default radix.
Bit fields [x:y] Brackets designate bit fields. For example, [0] means bit zero. [3:0] refers to bits zero through
three.

M300V GUI Overview
The M300V card has a user-friendly Graphics User Interface (GUI) called the M300V GUI. It is
designed to be easy to use. It has a low learning curve because it uses a standard Internet browser.
You can expect to be up and running in less than five minutes.
This chapter allows you to become familiar with the M300V GUI’s various functions. Each
function is described in detail.
Note: Your M300V GUI may not match this document. If it does not appear to be the same, you can visit
ami.com and download the most current user’s guide.

Initial Configuration of the MegaRAC® M300V card
Plug the MegaRAC® M300V card into the OPMA connector on your motherboard.
You can access the MegaRAC® M300V card from another system via the network. AMI refers to
this other system as the client system. To do this, you must know the MegaRAC® M300V card’s
IP Address. If you have installed the MegaRAC® M300V card on a network that uses DHCP, you
can search the network for the MegaRAC® M300V card. To locate and find out its IP Address,
you can run Intel Device Spy for UPnP Technologies.
Download Device Spy for UPnP Technologies from the Intel website:
http://www.intel.com/
Do a search for the following phrase:
Intel® Tools for UPnP Technologies
The download page changes from time to time, so doing a search will give you the best results.
Download the compressed file and uncompress it. The file will have a filename similar to the
following:
218892_218892.zip
The ZIP file will contain an EXE file that will have a filename similar to the following:
Intel_Tools_4UT_v1768.exe
