Description/Notes
5.1.6.2
LAN Drivers and Setup
The IPMI-over-LAN feature must be used with the appropriate Intel NIC Driver, and the NIC
correctly configured in order for DPC LAN operation to occur transparently to the operating
system and network applications. If an incorrect driver or NIC configuration is used, it is possible
to get driver timeouts when the IPMI-over-LAN feature is enabled.
5.1.6.3
BIOS Boot Flags
A remote console application can use the IPMI Set System Boot Options command to configure
a set of BIOS boot flags and boot initiator info parameters that are held by the management
controller. These parameters include information that identifies the party that initiated the boot,
plus flags and other information that can be used to direct the way booting proceeds after a
system reset or power-up. For example, whether the system should boot normally, boot using
PXE, boot to a diagnostic partition, etc.
5.1.6.4
Boot Flags and LAN Console Redirection
The system BIOS includes a LAN Console Redirection capability. This capability can only be
directed to one IP Address at a time. Thus, the boot flags and boot initiator information are also
used to tell the BIOS where to send LAN Console Redirection.
5.1.7
Wake On LAN / Power On LAN and Magic Packet Support
The baseboard supports Wake On LAN / Power On LAN capability using the on-board network
interface chips or an add-in network interface card. An add-in network card can deliver the wake
signal to the baseboard via the PME signal on the PCI bus. The actual support for Magic Packet
and/or packet filtering for Wake On LAN / Power On LAN is provided by the NIC. The
baseboard handles the corresponding wake signal.
5.1.7.1
Wake On LAN in S4/S5
A configuration option is provided that allows the on-board NICs to be enabled to wake the
system in an S4/S5 state, even if the operating system disabled Wake-On-LAN when it powered
down the system. This provides an option for users who want to use standard, but non-secure,
WOL capability for operations such as after-hours maintenance. Note that the DPC LAN
capability provides a secure system power-up, plus the ability to provide BIOS boot options, by
sending authenticated IPMI messages directly to the National Semiconductor PC87431
integrated management controller via the on-board NICs.
