5.2.8Intelligent Platform Management Controller
The Renesas H8S/2166 provides the IPM controller (IPMC) function on the Netra CP3260 blade server. The IPMC provides PICMG 3.0 blade server management functionality, and it interfaces to the host CPU through a serial interface. The IPMC subsystem is powered from the standby power.
The IPMC is responsible for the following:
■
■Serial payload interface to the host through PPC
■IPMI_L interface to communicate with MMC on ARTMs
■Power control of the entire Netra CP3260 blade server
■Power and reset control of the AMC board
■
■Power control
