4.12.5 Local Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol supported by the
Integrated BMC for the purpose of authentication and authorization.
Integrated BMC for the purpose of authentication and authorization.
The Integrated BMC user
connects with an LDAP server for login authentication.
This is only supported for non-IPMI
logins including the embedded web UI and SM-CLP. IPMI users/passwords and sessions are
not supported over LDAP.
not supported over LDAP.
LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and so on.) through the Integrated
BMC
BMC
’s Embedded Web UI. LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any
NIC configured for system management. The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation
for Linux*.

4.12.6 Platform/Chassis Management
Within an IPMI 2.0 framework, the BMC Firmware provides functionality to support management
and control of several aspects of the platform operation.
and control of several aspects of the platform operation.
This includes:
Front Panel Support (for example, secure lock out of power and reset buttons and
System Status LED control)
Hardware/Sensor Monitoring (for example, system voltages, thermal sensors, fans,
power supplies, and so on)
Power/Reset Control and Monitoring (for example, local and remote power/reset
control and power restore policy)
Hardware and Manufacturing Test Features
Asset Inventory and System Identification (for example, system GUID and FRU
management)
Thermal and Acoustics Management
– The BMC firmware provides a comprehensive
set of fan control capabilities utilizing various system thermal sensors (for example,
CPU, DIMMs, front panel thermal sensor).
CPU, DIMMs, front panel thermal sensor).
Additionally, the BMC participates in the
memory CLTT by pushing dim thermal data to the iMC in the CPU.
Power Management (Node Manager) Support
– BMC firmware provides an external
(LAN) interface for a remote management console to communicate wit
h the ME’s Node
Manager Functionality.
4.12.7 Thermal Control
The system shall support thermal management through open loop throttling (OLTT) or static
closed loop throttling (CLTT) of system memory based on availability of valid temperature
sensors on the installed memory DIMMs. The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) dynamically
changes throttling levels to cap throttling based on memory and system thermal conditions as
determined by the system and DIMM power and thermal parameters. Support for CLTT on
mixed-mode DIMM populations (that is some installed DIMMs have valid temp sensors and
some do not) is not supported. The Integrated BMC fan speed control functionality is related to
the memory throttling mechanism used.

The following terminology is used for the various memory throttling options:
Static Open Loop Thermal Throttling (Static-OLTT):
OLTT control registers are
configured by BIOS MRC remain fixed after post. The system does not change any of
the throttling control registers in the embedded memory controller during runtime.
