Platform Event Paging
With Platform Event Paging (PEP), your server can be configured to automatically dial up a paging service and page you when a server management related event occurs. Platform events include temperature
If PEP is enabled and the BMC receives or detects a new event, it automatically sends a page. It can send a page if the processors are down or if the system software is unavailable.
PEP needs an external modem connected to the server's EMP (Emergency Management Port) serial connection. This is typically the COM2 serial connector.
Verify in BIOS Setup of your server board whether or not your system BIOS includes PEP. If not you can download it from the Intel Customer Support website when it becomes available.

Using Platform Event Paging
1.Enter Setup.
2.Enter the PEP Management submenu from the Server Menu.
3.Set the PEP Enable field to Enable.
4.Enter your page string in the PEP Page String field. This consists of the attention command for you modem (generally ATDT), the number of your paging service, several commas (each comma is a 1 second pause), the number/message you wish to appear on your pager, and the hangup command for your modem (generally ATH). You will need to experiment with the timing to ensure you are paged properly. Set the Send Test Page field to Send Test Page Now to generate a test page.
5.If you wish to filter events so that only certain events will originate a page, enter the PEP Filter submenu.
a.Set the PEF Enable field to Enable.
b.Enable all of the events about which you want to be paged.
c.Escape out of the PEP Filter submenu.
6.Set the time between pages with the Page Blackout Field. If you want to be paged every five minutes, set it to 5. The range is from 0 to 10 minutes.
7.Exit BIOS Setup.
