Introduction
This section introduces the BMC and includes the requirements for web-based
graphical user interface (GUI), keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM), and virtual
media.
BMC Key Features and Functions
The following lists the supported features of the BMC:
 Support for IPMI v1.5 and v2.0
 Out-of-band monitoring and control for sever management over LAN
 Dedicated 10/100 NIC for remote management over a network
 Information which includes main board part number, product name,
manufacturer, and so on.
 Health status/hardware monitoring report
 View and clear events log.
 Event notification using chassis LED indicator and Platform Event Trap
(PET)
 Platform Event Filtering (PEF) to take selected action for selected events,
including NMI and SMI
 Chassis management including power control and status report, front panel
buttons, LED control, Secure Mode, and Boot Option
 Watchdog and auto server re-start and recovery
 Multi-session user and alert destination for LAN channel
 IPMB connector to enable advanced server management communication
with BMC

Using the Web UI
The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to connect
to the BMC using an Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) without
needing to install KVM and virtual storage software on a remote console.
Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:
Microsoft Windows:
 Internet Explorer 6 or later
 Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
2.0017 or later
Linux :
Mozilla Firefox 2.0017 or later

NOTE: Before using the web userinterface, ensure that the firewall settings are
configured to enable access to the following ports: 7578 (KVM),USB-CDROM:
5120, USB-FLOPPY: 5123.
Logging in to the Web User Interface
Enter the BMC-embedded server IP address or URL into the address bar of the
web browser. The BMC interface has a default of (DHCP\Static). Enter the
system BIOS setup with <F2> to change these settings.
When connecting to the BMC, the login screen prompts for the username and
password. This authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection
prevents unauthorized intruders from gaining access to the BMC web server.
Once authentication is passed, you can manage the server by privilege. At the
same time, the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) records all user information,
including user ID and privilege.
