Intel SHG2 manual Keyboard and Mouse, Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

Page 17

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. If specified through the System Setup Utility (SSU), the server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered.

ACPI

The SHG2 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0b. An ACPI-aware operating system can put the system into a sleep state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power supply fan and processor fans will still run.

The SHG2 supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.

s0: Normal running state.

s1: Processor sleep state: No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will maintain coherency.

s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk: The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the power button or other wakeup event will restore the system state from the disk and resume normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system while it was off.

s5: Soft off: Only the real time clock (RTC) section of the chipset and the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) are running in this state.

CAUTION

The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel® Server Management software monitors the system intrusion switch.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

If installed, you can activate the chassis intrusion alarm switch. When the side door is opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the server board, where BMC firmware and server management software process the signal. The system can be programmed to respond to an intrusion by locking the keyboard, for example.
