Using the System Setup Program 61

Baseboard Management Controller Configuration

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) enables configuring, monitoring,

and recovery of systems remotely. BMC provides the following features:

• Uses the system’s integrated NIC

• Fault logging and SNMP alerting

• Access to system event log and sensor status

• Control of system functions including power on and off

• Support is independent of the system’s power or operating state

• Provides text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities, and

operating system consoles

NOTE: To remotely access the BMC through the integrated NIC, you must connect

the network connection to integrated NIC1.

For additional information on using BMC, see the documentation for the

BMC and systems management applications.
