Platform Management Functional Overview

Intel® Server Board S1400SP TPS

Revision 1.0

Intel order number G64248-001

 System memory map – The system memory map is provided by BIOS on the current boot.

This includes the EFI memory map and the Legacy (E820) memory map depending on the
current boot.

 Power supplies debug capability:

Capture of power supply “black box” data and power supply asset information –

Power supply vendors are adding the capability to store debug data within the
power supply itself. The platform debug feature provides a means to capture this
data for each installed power supply. The data can be analyzed by Intel

for

failure analysis and possibly provided to the power supply vendor as well. The
BMC gets this data from the power supplies from PMBus* manufacturer-specific
commands.

Storage of system identification in power supply – The BMC copies board and

system serial numbers and part numbers into the power supply whenever a new
power supply is installed in the system or when the system is first powered on.
This information is included as part of the power supply black box data for each
installed power supply.

 Accessibility from IPMI interfaces – The platform debug file can be accessed from an

external IPMI interface (KCS or LAN).

 POST code sequence for the two most recent boots – This is a best-effort data collection

by the BMC as the BMC real-time response cannot guarantee that all POST codes are
captured.

 Support for multiple debug files – The platform debug feature provides the ability to save

data to 2 separate files that are encrypted with different passwords.

File #1 is strictly for viewing by Intel

engineering and may contain BMC log

messages (that is, syslog) and other debug data that Intel

FW developers deem

useful in addition to the data specified in this document.

File #2 can be viewed by Intel

partners who have signed an NDA with Intel

and

its contents are restricted to specific data items specified in this with the
exception of the BMC syslog messages and power supply “black box” data.

6.12.15.1

Output Data Format

The diagnostic feature shall output a password-protected compressed HTML file containing
specific BMC and system information. This file is not intended for end-customer usage, this file
is for customer support and engineering only.

6.12.15.2

Output Data Availability

The diagnostic data shall be available on-demand from the embedded web server, KCS, or IPMI
over LAN commands.

6.12.15.3

Output Data Categories

The following tables list the data to be provided in the diagnostic output.
