Intelligent Platform Management
Interface
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) defines a set of
standardized, message-based interfaces that monitor system hardware health
(fan speed, temperature, voltage, power supply, and so on.), control system
components, and store data about important system events in a system event
log (SEL) for later examination. IPMI provides the foundation for remote
platform management.
NOTE: To learn more about IPMI, see intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/.
Baseboard Management Controller
The key component in the IPMI system is the baseboard management
controller (BMC), a microcontroller located on the server’s system board.
BMC is the “intelligence” within the IPMI architecture, responsible for
monitoring and controlling the server’s manageable devices.
BMC is connected to the various sensors through the Intelligent Platform
Management Bus (IPMB), a subset of the I2C bus. System software
communicates with BMC using a keyboard controller style (KCS) interface.
Supported Platform
PowerEdge C6220 II
BMC Key Features and Functions
The features supported by BMC are as follows:
•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 system board part number,
product name, and manufacturer.
•Health status/hardware monitoring report
•View and clear events log
•Event notification by lighting chassis LED indicator and Platform Event
Tra p (P ET)
•Platform Event Filtering (PEF) to take selected action for selected events
•Chassis management, which includes power control, status report, front
panel buttons, and LEDs control
•Watchdog and auto server re-start and recovery
•Multi-session user and alert destination for LAN channel

Using the Web User Interface
The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to
connect to the BMC using an Internet browser (Windows Internet Explorer)
without needing to install KVM and virtual storage software on a remote
console.
Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:
Users must enter the PowerEdge C6220 II embedded server IP address or
URL (default DHCP\static IP address) into the address bar of the web
browser.
When connecting to the PowerEdge C6220 II using a web browser, Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) is automatically activated and the display user login form
is displayed prompting for the username and password. This authentication
with SSL protection prevents unauthorized intruders from gaining access to
the PowerEdge C6220 II web server. If authentication is passed, you can
manage the server by privilege.
A security certificate warning displays, choose Continue to this website (not recommended) to continue.
The user authentication web page is displayed. Enter the default user name
and password, and click OK.
NOTE: The default username and password are in lowercase characters. It is
advised to change the root password once you have logged in.

The Remote Management Controller’s web UI is divided into two areas. On
the left is the multi-level navigation menu bar, which is divided into four
categories and each category is subdivided into several submenus. On the
right is the information pane, which displays list of information, commands
or configuration options that are associated with the category selected from
the navigation menu bar.
The Remote Management Controller menu provides general information
about the server including the BMC firmware and network information.
Administrators and operators can use this menu to check the sled server
health and access all network configuration options. It also provides options
for managing security, user access, session status, updating the BMC
firmware, and performing remote system shutdown or reboot.
The remote management controller menu provides access to the following
configuration options:
Select the Security submenu to view server certificate information. Secure
server certificates ensure the identity of a remote system and ensure that
information exchanged with the remote system cannot be viewed or changed
by others. Users with administrator or operator privileges can create a
Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and upload the file to a certifying
authority.

Subject Information:
Country Code (CC)Name of the country where the entity applying for the
certification is located
State (S)State or province where the entity applying for the
certification is located

Select the Users submenu to view the list of users authorized to access the
system. Administrators can grant any user permission privileges by clicking a
user ID number.

ItemDescription
Password Policy Check
Enable Checkbox
Enables you to improve the security of your passwords
by enforcing strong password security policies.
If enabled, BMC will perform a password check each
time the user configuration is updated. The user
password must have the following requirements:
• Cannot contain the user’s account name or full name.
• Must have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 14
alphanumeric characters.
• Can contain numbers (0-9), upper and lower case
letters (A-Z, a-z), special characters (for example, !, $,
#, %).
• Can contain a catch-all category of any Unicode
character that does not fall under the previous three
categories. This category can be regionally specific.
• Cannot contain or be similar to the last 5 passwords.
User ID ColumnDisplays a list of users who can access this BMC
If a privilege is assigned to a user, the user ID appears as
a hyperlink.

Column
Serial Over LAN ColumnIndicates whether permission for configuring the serial
over LAN connection is enabled or disabled
SOL provides serial access over the NIC interface. The
server’s integrated BMC redirects data information from
the serial port (UART), and packs the data and transfers
the UART data to the NIC interface.
