Restricted: a remote system can initiate a LAN connection, but cannot perform control operations such as power down, reset, or front panel NMI.

Disabled: remote systems are not allowed to initiate LAN connections.

5.In the IP Setup box, choose either:

DHCP: the IP address for the server is automatically assigned by the DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) server on the network. The Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog are ignored.

Static: assign the IP address for the server using the Host, Gateway, and Subnet Mask boxes in the dialog.

6.If you chose Static IP Setup in the previous step, fill in the IP addressing boxes:

Host IP Address: the IP address of this server.

Gateway IP Address: the IP address of the router for this server.

Subnet Mask: the IP address for the server’s subnet. The server uses this to decide if the alert destination is on the same subnet.

7.Click Save to save the changes.

8.Click Close to return to the PEM window.

Setting Up Remote Modem or Serial Access

To configure remote modem or serial access:

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

2.In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.

3.If you want to require a password for remote access, enter the password in the Enter New Password box and in the Verify New Password box. Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters long, using any ASCII character in the range [32-126]. To clear the passwords, leave both boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by choose the menu Options > Clear LAN Password.)

4.In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500ms intervals that the BMC should wait before taking control of the COM2 port and answering an incoming call. A value greater than zero gives the BIOS time to answer before the BMC takes control. A value of zero causes the BMC to answer immediately. The maximum value, 63, tells the BMC to ignore the call.

Modem Ring Time applies only to Preboot access mode and is ignored for other access modes.

5.In the System Phone Number box, enter the number for the phone line connected to the modem on the EMP.

6.From the Access Mode list, choose the remote access mode:

Always Active: the EMP is available at any time.

Preboot: the EMP is available only when the server is powered down or is in the running POST during startup.

Disabled: remote systems are not allowed to initiate connections.

7.From the Restricted Mode list, choose either:

Enabled: a remote system can initiate a connection, but cannot perform control operations such as power down, reset, or front panel NMI.

Disabled: the remote system has full control of the server.

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.
