Alerting for Platform Events, Setting Up Email Alerts

Restoring a Configuration

To restore the system configuration from a file:

1.From the SSU Main window, choose Config Save/Restore. (Configuration Save/Restore is available only in Expert mode.)

2.Click Restore from File and specify a filename and location.

The CSR reads the platform type, BIOS revision, and firmware revision from the file and compares that information with the same information retrieved from the server. If the two do not match, an error message is displayed and the restore operation aborts. If they do match, the CSR restores the configuration data to the server. It prompts you to reboot the server for the new settings to

take effect.

Alerting for Platform Events

You can set up the server to alert you when various events occur. Alerts can be delivered either as telephone pages, over the LAN, or by email.

Setting Up Email Alerts

You can receive email alerts for any of the same events supported by LAN alert or Platform Events Paging. Unlike LAN Alert and Platform Events Paging that can be configured using the SSU, you must use the Intel Server Management Platform Interface Control (PIC) software to configure an email address to receive alerts.

For more information on installing Intel Server Management (ISM) software, see page 40. For more information on configuring email alerts using the PIC, see the Installation & User Guide located on the ISM CD-ROM.

Setting Up Paging Alerts

To set up the server to send alerts as telephone pages:

1.Install an external modem on the Emergency Management Port (COM2).

2.From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager (PEM).

3.In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.

4.In the corresponding boxes, enter the following command strings for the modem attached to the EMP port:

•ESC Sequence: the escape sequence. This string is sent to the modem before sending command strings. The maximum string length is five characters; longer strings are truncated.

•Hangup String: hang up or drop the connection. The EMP automatically sends an <ENTER> character following this string. The maximum string length is eight characters; longer strings are truncated.

•Modem Dial Command: the command to dial a phone number. This string is sent to the modem before sending the paging string.

•Modem Init String: the initialization string for the modem. This string is sent every time the EMP initializes. The maximum length for the string is determined at run-time from firmware. You will be notified if the string is truncated. Following a save, the actual string saved is displayed in the edit box.

Configuration Software and Utilities

SHG2 specifications

Intel SHG2, short for Server High-Performance GPU 2, represents a significant evolution in graphics technology designed to meet the demanding requirements of data centers and high-performance computing applications. Developed to support a range of workloads, SHG2 is particularly optimized for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics.

One of the defining features of the Intel SHG2 is its impressive processing power. With numerous cores capable of parallel processing, it can execute multiple tasks simultaneously, leading to faster computation times. This architecture makes it incredibly efficient for applications that require heavy calculations and real-time data processing.

The SHG2 also embraces advanced fabrication technologies, moving to smaller nodes that enhance power efficiency while delivering higher performance. These innovations not only allow for improved thermal management but also contribute to the reduction of overall energy consumption, making the SHG2 a more environmentally friendly choice for server operations.

In terms of memory support, the SHG2 offers a robust configuration, accommodating high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that ensures quick access to critical data. This feature is essential for applications needing rapid data retrieval and integration, such as deep learning models where every millisecond counts.

Moreover, the SHG2 is built with compatibility in mind. It integrates seamlessly with existing Intel architectures, allowing organizations to leverage their current investments while upgrading their processing capabilities. This compatibility makes it easier for businesses to enhance their infrastructure without undergoing a complete overhaul of their systems.

Another salient characteristic of the Intel SHG2 is its support for virtualization. This allows multiple workloads to be handled simultaneously on a single GPU, maximizing resource utilization and enhancing overall system performance. As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, the ability to virtualize GPU resources becomes critical.

Security is also a major consideration in the design of the SHG2. Intel has incorporated various security features to ensure that data is protected against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities that could threaten system integrity.

As businesses increasingly turn to AI and machine learning to drive innovation, the Intel SHG2 positions itself as an essential tool for those looking to harness the power of advanced computing. With its impressive features, powerful performance, and forward-thinking design, is a strategic choice for organizations aiming to enhance their computational capabilities and meet the challenges of tomorrow's technological landscape.
