3. Firmware Functional Specification
3.1 Overview
LCD (Local Control Display) is a one line character display that resides on the front panel of a
chassis. It can display maximum of 16 characters at a time. However, a few special characters
such as {, }, `, ~, and ^ are not available in the current LCD controller supported set of
characters. So these characters are mapped to their nearest lookalike characters of LCD. This
device also contains three buttons (Left, Right, and Enter). The user can select the contents that
need to be displayed on the LCD screen by operating these buttons. The BMC firmware drives
the display of this LCD panel based on the user’s selection. These three buttons are connected
to the GPIO pins of the BMC and the LCD controller is connected to the BMC using I2C bus.
3.2 LCD Functionality
The LCD device provides the following features:
Displays a banner when the system is healthy. The default banner is the Server Name.
One exception is when a user sets a custom string using the command, “Write LCD
Custom String (0xB3)”, the set custom string will become the banner automatically, until
the user changes the banner option in the banner configuration menu.
Displays active error messages when the system is not healthy.
Provides the ability to quickly see asset information on system without having to open
the chassis.
Provides basic server management configuration.
The LCD display is menu driven. Based on the user’s selection, respective menu items are
displayed. As soon as the system gets power, the LCD panel shall try to display the fault
detected in the system. If more than one fault exists, it displays the latest high severity fault
(event). If there are no faults, a banner is displayed. Default banner is Server Name. Server
Name is the value specified as the product name in the product FRU information in the main
board BMC FRU. User can set any of the parameters given under the banner configuration
menu as a banner string, which will be discussed later in this section. When the system’s status
is degraded, the corresponding active event will be displayed in place of the banner. During an
error, background color will be light amber in color. The LCD panel returns to a light green or
blue background when there are no longer any degraded, non-fatal, or fatal events active. The
LCD panel shall operate in lock-step with the system status LED. For example, if the system is
operating normally and an event occurs that results in the system status LED to blink green,
then the LCD shall display the degraded event that triggered the systems status LED to blink.

|Evt|View|Conf
|||<Active Err Evt>
On pressing Enter button when the screen shows banner or error message, the Main Menu is
displayed. The Main Menu contains Evt, View, and Conf items. Based on the user’s selection
in the Main Menu, respective sub-menu items will be displayed. At any point of time, if there is
no user intervention for more than 10 minutes, latest high severity event in the system is
displayed (if one exists or a banner is displayed if the system is healthy).
The following sections discuss about the individual menu items. It is assumed that no active
event exists in the system during the LCD display in the following figures. That is the reason
why the background color of LCD in the following examples is light green. If any event (fatal or
non-fatal) occurs that degrades the system’s health, the color of the LCD background turns into
light amber. Even though all the contents (full text) are shown in the example screen shots in
the following sections, by default, only the first 16 characters are displayed when a particular
menu item is selected. The remaining text can be viewed by using Right or Left buttons.
3.3 Main Menu
On pressing Enter button, when Banner/Error screen is displayed, the following main menu is
displayed. Using Left and Right buttons, the cursor can be moved under any one of the
following four menu items.
Figure 10: Main Menu
If the user selects menu item, then the LCD displays the previous screen, that is,
Banner/Error string. Selecting the menu item means, moving the cursor under that item using
Left or Right buttons and pressing the Enter button subsequently. In all the following sections
(or for any screen shot), if the user presses Enter button, when the cursor is under the symbol
, it displays the previous screen. Selecting any of the menu items; Evt, View, or Conf, leads
the display to their corresponding screen shots and the details are given in the following
sections.
3.4 Event Menu
If the Evt item is selected in the main menu, the LCD displays the following screen shown in the
figure.
Figure 11: Event Menu
This screen is used to traverse the current active error event messages in the system. The
latest high severity event is displayed in place of the banner if one exists. If more than one
critical or degraded event exists in the system, this screen can be used to traverse all of them.
However, at any given time, the LCD retains and displays a maximum of the 20 latest high
severity events. When a higher or a same level of severity event happens as the 21st event,
then the oldest low severity event will be discarded. It is assumed that a system will not have
more than 20 active (asserted) critical events at any given time. The menu items, and are
used to traverse among these event messages. Selection of the menu item , displays the
previous event and the item , displays the next event in human readable format. By default, it

displays the latest high severity event if one exists or System Health OK message if there are
no active (asserted) errors in the system currently. If there are more than two active events in
the system, then they are displayed in the descending order of their severity when menu item,
is selected. If two events have the same severity, then the latest one will be displayed first.
Each error event scrolls once automatically so that the entire message can be read without
pressing either the Left or Right buttons. To make the event message scroll again from the
start, Right button has to be pressed when the cursor is under the event message. Pressing
any other button will stop scrolling and the corresponding action for that button press will be
taken. Switching between scrolling and freezing the screen and vice-versa is not supported due
to the limitation of LCD controller.
3.5 View Menu
The following screen is displayed when View item is selected in the main menu.
Figure 12: View Menu
The meaning of the menu items of the above screen are as follows:

and the following screen is displayed on selecting any of IPAddr, SMask, and GWay items. The
selected item will be set with the configured value once Set is selected in the following figure.
Figure 21: Screen shot for Configuring IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
By default, the cursor will be under the symbol, and the IP address is displayed as
000.000.000.000. A Right button will take the cursor to the first position (first 0) of the IP
address. When the cursor is under the second menu item, the functionality of Left, Right and
Enter buttons is different from the previous screens. The second token consists of twelve 0’s
separated by ‘.’ character in IP address format. The behaviors of these buttons are as follows
when the cursor is under this item.
1. Left and Right buttons inside the second menu item traverses among the 0 positions
within the same item.
2. If the cursor is under last position inside the second menu item, then a Right button
will move the cursor to next item, that is, Set.
3. If the cursor is under first position inside the second menu item, then a Left button
moves the cursor to the previous item, that is .
4. First Enter button at any “0” position makes that position to be selected to increment
or decrement the value at that position. The values allowed are between and
including 0 and 9.
5. Any further Left or Right buttons will decrement or increment the value at that
position.
6. Second Enter button at that position makes the cursor to be ready for moving left or
right. Any further left or right movement shifts the cursor to the previous or next
position respectively.
7. So, the Enter button is used to select a position at the first time and to leave the
position at the second time.
The following state transition diagram explains the above steps pictorially, while setting an IP
address using the LCD device. After entering an IP address, the user has to select Set item to
set the entered IP address to the corresponding parameter (IP Address, Subnet Mask, or
Gateway).

Appendix A: Installation/Assembly Safety Instructions
Observe the following safety guidelines:
Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers,
bezels, filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed.
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the
power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your
location.
To help avoid possible damage to the server board, wait five seconds after turning off
the system before removing a component from the server board or disconnecting a
peripheral device from the computer.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from
a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly
grounded plugs.
To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and decreases
in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply.
Be sure nothing rests on your computer system's cables and that the cables are not
located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, refer the
documentation that came with it.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your
computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a rug.
When working on the inside of your computer:
Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this
guide and elsewhere in Intel® documentation. Always follow installation and service
instructions closely.
Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also disconnect
any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

Additional safety guidelines:
When you disconnect a cable, pull the connector or the strain-relief loop, not the cable
itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type
of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull
connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also,
before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a
card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such
as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.
Protecting against Electro Static Discharge (ESD):
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your
computer's electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by
touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at
the back of the computer.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. In addition to the
preceding precautions, you can also take the following steps to prevent damage from
Electro Static Discharge (ESD).
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove
the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the
component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure
to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads.
