Introduction
This section introduces the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and
includes the requirements for web-based graphical user interface (GUI),
keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM), and virtual media.
Supported Platform
PowerEdge C5220
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 server management over LAN
• Dedicated NIC for remote management via network
• FRU information report, which includes main board part number, product
name, manufacturer, and so on.
• Health status/hardware monitoring report
• View and clear events log
• Event notification by lighting chassis LED indicator and Platform Event
Trap (P E T )
• Platform Event Filtering (PEF) to take selected action for selected events
including NMI
• Chassis management, which includes power control, status report, front
panel buttons, and LEDs control
• Watchdog and auto server re-start and recovery
• Support for multi-session user and alert destination for LAN channel
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.
5
Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:
Microsoft Windows:
• Internet Explorer 6, 7 or later
• Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later
Linux:
• Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later
NOTE: Before using the web user interface, ensure that the firewall settings are
configured to enable access to the following ports: 8890 (KVM), 9000 (storage), 9001,
9002, and 9003.
Logging in to the Web User Interface
Enter the IP address or URL (default DHCP\static IP address) into the
address bar of the web browser.
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.

Firmware Update
Use the Firmware Update feature to upgrade to the latest firmware version.
The following data is included in the BMC firmware package:
• Compiled BMC firmware code and data
• Web-based user interface, JPEG, and other user interface data files
• Default configuration files
Updating the BMC Firmware
NOTE: Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware
version and save it on your local system. During the process of firmware update, the
AC power of the managed system cannot be unplugged and the Web GUI cannot be
closed.
NOTE: Once you enter into Update Mode and choose to cancel the firmware flash
operation, the BMC must be reset. This means that you must close the Internet
browser and log back onto the BMC card before you can perform any other types of
operations.
Select the Enter Update Mode button from the Maintenance tab to put the
device in a special mode that allows firmware update. You can now follow the
instructions presented below to successfully update the card’s firmware. The
device resets if update is cancelled. The device also resets upon successful
completion of firmware update.

Browse to, or enter the path on your system where the firmware image file
resides.

Select this option to select mouse mode to Relative,
depending upon your system. If you select the single
mouse checkbox, it locks the local mouse cursor inside the
redirected window and the user has to press <Alt+M> to
unlock and stop mouse redirection. Here <Alt+M> is
basically used to start or stop mouse redirection.
IPMI is an OS-independent platform, and KVM support is an added feature
for IPMI. For your mouse to function properly, please configure the mouse
mode settings according to the mouse is absolute coordinates or relative
28
coordinates on your host server. For example, it is recommended to use
absolute / relative mouse mode when your host server is running in Windows
or Linux.
NOTE: When you choose the relative mouse mode. The redirected host mouse
cursor may not overlap with the actual local mouse cursor (depending on the
mouse cursor acceleration setting of the host OS). If this situation occurs, it is
recommended to select the single cursor checkbox.
Network
The Network page allows you to view and modify the network settings. Select
whether to obtain an IP address automatically or manually configure one.
NOTE: To change any of the settings on the Network Configuration page, you must
have permission to configure the BMC. Do not do network configuring when the
server is in BIOS mode; the network configuration may be conflict with the BIOS.
