Server Management

Intel® Server Board Set SE8500HW4

5.1.1Sensor Data Record SDR (SDR) Repository

The BMC implements a logical Sensor Data Record (SDR) repository device, as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. The SDR repository is accessible via all communication transports, even while the system is powered off.

5.1.2Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Inventory Devices

The BMC implements the interface for logical FRU inventory devices, as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. This functionality provides commands used for accessing and managing FRU inventory information. These commands can be delivered via all interfaces.

The BMC provides FRU command access to its own FRU device, as well as to the FRU devices throughout the system. The FRU device ID mappings are shown in Figure 8 and Table 9. The BMC controls the mapping of the FRU device ID to the physical device. Per the IPMI specification, FRU device 0 is always located on the Mainboard. By convention, the IMM Board FRU will always be FRU device 1. All Intel-designed Server boards maintain on-board non- volatile storage to hold the FRU data.
