About this Manual
This manual is designed to provide the basic information for the SMDC M3289 and
M3290. It includes the introduction of hardware, software and general troubleshooting
procedures.
Chapter 1: Overview – Includes the basic introduction of SMDC, TSO and Server
Management.
Chapter 2: Hardware Information – Introduces the hardware information, including
card features, specification, components, jumper setting and installation proce dure.
Chapter 3: Software Information – Introduces the software information of TSO (Tyan
System Operator), including features and how SMDC and TSO work.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting – Provides the general troubleshooting procedures the
users will meet in their daily work, effectively reducing the problems ha ppened in the
process of server management.
Chapter 1: Overview
Servers today provide the necessary resource for corporate databases, financial and
statistical analysis data, military defense networks, and much more. T o act as the heart
and soul of any network, servers must be infallible or near infallible. There must be
competent management of IT resources at all times in order to keep servers and
networks running smoothly and without incident. However, most network and server
administration staff can just provide part of that support, they cannot be present 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, on a constant 365-day calendar.
To help provide a solution for constant vigilance, the server remote management card
eliminates the problem of having an administrator on call at all times. Tyan has the
entire package to manage servers and networks. This makes the Tyan solution one of
the most complete IT resource tools available.
1.1 What are SMDC and TSO?
SMDC stands for Server Management Daughter Card while TSO stands for Tyan
System Operator. The TSO is software made by Tyan which acts as a front end client
that provides additional functionality for the SMDC. The SMDC and TSO offer remote
management over servers. The remote management gives the ability to monitor and
control remote resources, such as temperature monitoring, fan control, turning system
on/off, or modifying system settings remotely.
1.2 Features of Tyan Server Management
Monitor various system components remotely
- such as fans, processor temperature, and more
Remote power on and power off
Console redirect
-the ability to view system remotely
Alert and error actions
-such as audible beep, e-mail, power down and reboot
SMDC runs on stand-by power
-the SMDC will continue to function, even if the system is not
powered on

1.3 How SMDC and TSO work
The brief descriptions below will help explain how these items function. For further,
more in-depth descriptions, please refer to Chapter 3: Software information.
6
http://www.tyan.com
Agent – a system with SMDC installed
The SMDC is installed in the Agent system that uses a
compatible/supported Tyan motherboard.
Manager – manages the Agent
The Manger is set up to manage the Agent that has the SMDC.
The Manager and Agent should be in same subnet.
Console – communicates with Manager
The Console is used to monitor and control the Agent through the
Manager.
1.4 Operating System Compatibility
SMDC is operation systems independent.
And TSO, the remote management software is compatible with the following operation
systems:
Microsoft®
Windows® 2000
Windows® XP (32/64-bit)
Windows® Server 2003 (32/64-bit)
Red Hat®
RH Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0 (32/64-bit)
Adv. Server 2.1, 3.0, 4.0 (32/64-bit)
SuSE®
SuSE Enterprise Server 8.0, 9.0
(32/64-bit)
Professional 9.0, 9.1, 9.2,9.3 (32/64bit)

Chapter 2: Hardware Information
2.1 What is SMDC
The Tyan Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful, yet cost-efficient,
solution for high-end server management hardware packages. The SMDC provides
remote system monitoring and control even when the operating system is absent or
fails, and empowers server boards with advanced industry standard features. It
effectively enables IT Managers to have remote and multi-interface access to monitor,
control, and diagnosing activities.
The SMDC is powered by an intelligent controller known as the Baseboard
Management Control (BMC). The BMC is a standalone mini-CPU that runs on its own
Real Time Operating System (RTOS) to complete a variety of tasks. Backed by
QLogic’s reliable ARM7 technology, systems are consistently monitored and
supported.
Unlike regular cards such as AGP cards, network cards or SCSI cards, the SMDC is
not a peripheral card that requires any hardware specific driver. As long as standb y
power supports the system, the SMDC will monitor the system.
The Tyan SMDC provides many diverse methods to communicate with the hard ware.
There is flexibility to choose among Keyboard Controller Style (KCS), Block Transfer
(BT) style, Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB), Intelligent Platform
Management Bus (IPMB), Emergency Management Port (EMP) and standard IPMIOver-LAN communication as defined in latest IPMI 1.5 specification.
The Tyan SMDC
is compatible with all IPMI-compliant software as well as with the Tyan System
Operator™ (TSO) software package. The SMDC hardware is OS-dependent and is
fully compatible with all major Operating Systems.

Hardware Monitoring
The latest hardware from TYAN is equipped with Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC) from QLogic Zircon which provides not only system monitoring but also remote
manageability. The BMC can always monitor the hardware r egardless of how the
operating system is running. With the BMC onboard, any IPMI-compliant software can
monitor, control or diagnose the hardware locally, or from a remote site.
Protocol and Standard
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
• Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) for IPMI-Over-LAN
• Alert Standard Forum (ASF)
Auxiliary Communication Interface (Other standard devices that the SMDC
communicates with)
• IPMB = Intelligent Platform Management Bus
• LAN = Local Area Network
Auxiliary SMBus / I
2
C buses
The SMDC provides 4 dedicated and independe nt buses for user expansion. Many
devices including Northbridge, Southbridge, Super I/O, Hardware Monitor, LAN
controller, etc., provide I
2
C communication. These I2C buses bridge the proper
communication between these devices.
Teamed with other IPMB Devices (PMCs and EMCs)
Numerous devices in the market already support IPMB communication. BMC facilitates
the control and management of these devices. PMC stands for Peripheral
Management Controller and EMC stands for Enclosure Management Controller.
