5.3mBMC Hardware Architecture

The following figure shows an example of the internal functional modules of the mBMC in a block diagram. The mBMC controls various server management functions, such as the system power/reset control, a variety of types of sensor monitoring, system initialization, fault resilient booting (FRB).

The memory subsystem consists of flash memory to hold the mBMC operation code, firmware update code, System Event Log (SEL), Sensor Data Record (SDR) repository, and mBMC persistent data.

A private SMBus provides the mBMC with access to various sensors located in the server system.
