Intel® Local Control Panel for EPSD Platforms TPS Introduction
1
1. Introduction
The Intel® Local Control Panel (Intel® LCP) is an optional accessory that enhances the
manageability of the EPSD Platforms Based on Intel® Xeon® Processor E5
4600/2600/2400/1600/1400 Product Families. The Intel® Local Control Panel provides a way to
locally manage one of these Intel® servers. Combined with the Intel® Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC), the Intel® Local Control Panel allows a user to monitor the health of an Intel®
server platform or configure an Intel® server for remote IPMI management. This allows for
monitoring, configuration, and control of the server, independently from the operating system.
This document describes the architecture, firmware features, and hardware parameters of the
Intel® Local Control Panel.
1.1 Section Outline
This document is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Physical and Electrical Description
Chapter 3 – Firmware Functional Specification
Chapter 4 – Installing and Removing the Intel® Local Control Panel
Appendix A – Installation/Assembly Safety Instructions

2. Physical and Electrical Description
2.1 Views and Usage Model
There are two versions of the Intel® Local Control Panel available:
Product Order Code A1U2ULCP is for all Intel® Rack Server Systems R1000BB,
R2000BB, R1000EP, R2000IP, R2000LH2/R2000LT2, R2000SC, R1000GZ/GL, and
R2000GZ/GL Families.
Product Order Code A4ULCP is for all Intel® Pedestal Server Systems P4000CR,
P4000CP, P4000GP, P4000IP, P4000SC, S2400GP/P4000M, S2400SC/P4000M,
S2600CO/P4000M, and S2600CP/P4000M Families.
The LCP is mounted to the front of the chassis using an existing front panel/IO tray for rack
and pedestal. The rack version of the LCP is secured using one screw and supports the two
USB ports. The pedestal version of the LCP snaps into place and has one USB port.

2.2 System Components and Functions
The LCD (Local Control Display) is a one line character display that resides on the LCP. It can
display a maximum of 16 characters at a time. This device also contains three buttons (Left,
Right, and Enter). The user can select the content that needs to be displayed on the LCD
screen by operating these buttons.
The figures below show the Intel® Local Control Panel buttons and configuration:
