MECI

The Multiple Event Count Increment (MECI) counter counts the number of oc- curences a duplicate event must happen before the MECI counter is incremented. This is a numeric value.

METW

The Multiple Event Time Window (METW) defines number of minutes must pass between duplicate log events before MECI is incremented. This is in minutes, from 0 to 99.

7-5 IPMI Configuration (X9SCi-LN4F, X9SCA-F Only)

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a set of common interfaces that IT administrators can use to monitor system health and to manage the system as a whole. For more information on the IPMI specifications, please visit Intel's website at www.intel.com.

BMC Support

This feature enables or disables the installed Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the motherboard. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Wait For BMC

If enabled, the system will wait for a BMC response after the AC power is turned on. It takes around 30 seconds to initialize Host to BMC interfaces. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
