iRMC S2/S3 11

1 Preface

Modern server systems are becoming increasingly complex. The requirements

with respect to the management of such systems are growing accordingly.

In response to this development, a number of vendors founded the “Intelligent

Platform Management Interface” (IPMI) initiative with the objective of defining a

standardized, abstract, message-based interface between the central system

controller (Baseboard Management Controller - BMC) and intelligent hardware

for platform management. For further details on IPMI, please refer to section

"IPMI - technical background" on page 21.

The integrated Remote Management Controllers iRMC S2 and iRMC S3 (in the

following iRMC S2/S3 for short) each represent a BMC with integrated LAN

connection and extended functionality. In this way, the iRMC S2/S3 offers

comprehensive control over PRIMERGY servers, irrespective of the system

status. In particular, the iRMC S2/S3 allows for out-of-band management

(Lights Out Management, LOM) of PRIMERGY servers. Out-of-band

management uses of a dedicated management channel that enables a system

administrator to monitor and manage servers via remote control regardless of

whether the server is powered on.
