The IPMC monitors the Port 80 POST codes generated by the payload CPU. The IPMC is
connected to various sensors on the blade that provide temperature sensor readings at all
major devices and voltage sensor readings of all major voltages. The IPMC monitors reset
events caused by devices like Watchdog, IPMI command, and reset button.
The FRU information of the various modules including front board, RTM, and other modules
can be read via the IPMC and if necessary upgraded thru the IPMC.
The IPMC features Serial over LAN (SOL) for the payload CPU serial console. The SOL interface is
available via the ATCA Base I/F. SOL is activated by specific IPMI commands.
5.12 Serial Redirection
The CPU serial redirection reroutes the console input and output; that is the text output to the
text screen and input from the standard keyboard. The console typically is used by the BIOS
setup menus, BIOS initialization and boot routines, OS boot loaders and loaded OS.
The serial console of the payload CPU is available via SOL. In addition to the SOL capability the
serial console is also available on the blade faceplate using a RJ45 connector with Cisco pin-out.
If a SOL session is established, only the output is available on the faceplate. Input is not possible
during this time via the faceplate. Alternatively to the CPU serial console, the IPMC serial
console is also available on the faceplate serial connector. It can be selected via specific IPMI
OEM command.
5.13 Serial Over LAN
Serial Over LAN (SOL) enables suitably designed blades and servers to transparently redirect a
serial character stream of a baseboard UART to/from a remote client via LAN over RMCP+
sessions. This enables users at remote consoles to access the serial port of a blade/server and
interact with a text-based BIOS console, operating system, command line interfaces, and serial
text-based applications.
