Sensor Data Record (SDR)

Each sensor has its own corresponding characteristics. They are built according to IPMI standard to provide users the most information possible about a sensor. Details such as measuring units and calibration factors are available while they are not provided in traditional hardware monitoring systems.

SDR is specific to motherboard. Tyan provides a utility to easily upgrade the BMC firmware to support each motherboard model.

System Event Log (SEL)

A complete history of system events such as POST events are stored and secured in non-volatile memory. Critical events within the server detected by the BMC are recorded in the SEL. Certain pre-programmed actions may take place such as system reboot or system shutdown.

Field Replaceable Unit Information Storage (FRU)

Chassis, Board, Product and other important service information are stored and secured in an area generally known as FRU.

Upgrade BMC Firmware

The BMC supports Firmware Flash through IPMI firmware commands. The Firmware is stored in boot block flash part. The boot block section code is normally programmed in- factory and it provides protection against accidental flash failure or power loss.

BMC Firmware may be upgraded from a remote console running Tyan System Operator (TSO). See TSO section for details.

“Always Ready”

SMDC runs on stand-by power; all monitoring and alerting operations of BMC can begin full operation by using only standby power.

Tyan System Operator ™ (TSO)

TSO is a software tool created specifically for IPMI-compliant systems with SMDC. It intends to provide IT managers the ability to monitor, control and diagnose their Tyan server boards with ease and flexibility in a remote configuration. See Chapter 3:

Software Information for further details.

Standard or OEM Drivers

M3291/3295 can use standard IPMI driver on Windows on LINUX.

Tyan may provide driver support for other third party software at request. Contact your Tyan support representative for more details.
