Introduction
The Intel® Management Module is an upgrade to the National Semiconductor PC87431 mini-BMC
®
management controller on the Intel
®
Intel
Server Board SE7520JR2, and Intel® Server Board SE8500HW4. The Intel Management
Module plugs into a connector on the server board. The Intel Management Module is available in
two versions:
• Professional Edition
• Advanced Edition
Intel® Management Module Features
Professional Edition Features
The Professional Edition includes the following features:
• All the features provided by the mBMC
• Support for IPMI v2.0 specification
• Additional sensors
• Temperature-based fan speed control by the BMC
• Additional FRU records are visible to the management controller and management software
applications (for example, Power Supply, DIMM, and hot-swap controller FRU’s).
• The size of the System Event Log (SEL) is increased from 92 entries to 3276 entries
• The number of BMC users is increased from one anonymous user to four users (each with
configurable user names and passwords on each LAN or Serial channel)
• The IPMI 2.0 serial features are supported. The serial port can be used for console
redirection, Terminal-mode CLI, dial paging, Serial Over LAN (SOL), and other
management functions.
• The Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB) is supported
• PCI SMBus is accessible to the management controller. This allows PCI add-in cards that
support manageability to log events to the System Event Log (SEL).
• BIOS logging of POST progress codes is added to the existing capability of logging only the
BIOS POST errors
•Front panel functionality is enhanced (See: Secure Mode Button Actions in the platform
Technical Product Specification)
• For systems with the SATA or SCSI hot-swap controller (HSC), the HSC sensors are visible
to server management software and HSC events are logged in the SEL.

Advanced Edition Features
The Advanced Edition adds all the features listed above for the Professional Edition, plus the
following features:
rd
• BMC-resident SNMP support for out-of-band access using 3
party applications such as
Hewlett-Packard* OpenView*
• Embedded web server to access system health, view the SEL, and issue IPMI commands
• Embedded Command Line Interface (using a Telnet server running on the BMC) to allow
direct terminal access to the BMC
• Alerting via Email
®
• Intel
Advanced Remote Server Control adds remote KVM functionality
• High-speed access to a dedicated NIC for the BMC on the Advanced Edition module
The Intel Advanced Remote Server Control, email alerting, embedded CLI, embedded web,
BMC-resident SNMP agent, SOL, and other firmware-resident features are available Out-of-Band
(OOB). This means that these features are available even when the Operating System is not
running or the AC power is off.
