Management Capabilities
The Intel
®
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor PCI Express* card exists as part of a system-level
ecosystem. In order for this system to manage its cooling and power demands, the
Intel
Intel
®
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor telemetry must be exposed to ensure that the system is
adequately cooled and that proper power is maintained. Manageability code running
elsewhere in the chassis, through the SMC, can retrieve SMC sensor logs, sensor data,
and vital information required for robust server management. Note that logging, in this
context, is completely separate from and has nothing to do with the MCA error log.

The SMC public interface (SMBus) is a compliant IPMB interface. It supports a minimal
IPMB command set in order to interact with manageability devices such as BMCs and
the Manageability Engine (ME).

The IPMB implementation on the SMC can receive additional incoming requests while
responses are being processed. This enables the interleaving of requests and responses
from multiple sources using the SMC’s IPMB, thus minimizing latency.
responses are being processed. This enables the interleaving of requests and responses
from multiple sources using the SMC’s IPMB, thus minimizing latency.
Upon initial power-on or restart, the SMC selects an IPMB slave address from the range
0x30 - 0x4e in increments of 2 (e.g., 0x30, 0x32, 0x34, etc.). The IPMB slave address
self-select starting address is nonvolatile, starting at the last selected slave address.
This ensures that the card doesn’t move nondeterministically in a static system. To

For the Intel

Xeon Phi™ coprocessor cards, the IPMB slave address will be found at
0x30 if only a single card is installed. If the motherboard has an exclusive connection to
the SMBus on each PCI Express* connection, then the Intel
the SMBus on each PCI Express* connection, then the Intel

Xeon Phi™ coprocessor
will assign itself a default address (0x30). If the SMBus connections are shared, each
Intel
Intel
®
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor in a chassis will negotiate with each other and select
addresses in the range from 0x30 to 0x4e. If a mux is incorporated into the design to
isolate devices on a shared link the address negotiation process should result in each
card having address 0x30. However, if the mux in use allows for the channels to be
merged, i.e., creating a shared bus scenario, the address negotiation may result in
each card having a unique address behind the mux.

The SMC’s PCI Express*/SMBus interface operates as an industry standard IPMB with a
reduced IPMI command implementation. The SMC supports a system event log (SEL)
via the IPMI interface.
