Remote Console Interfaces
4-7
The firmware hubs in each cell store the BIOS. The firmware hub and the TPM are
attached to the low pin count (LPC) bus, an internal bus that connects low-bandwidth
devices to the CPU.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
"Trusted Platform Module (TPM)" in Section 2 describes the TPM.
Ports
The management board contains the following ports:
y 10/100 Ethernet ports An Ethernet LAN is the physical transport for the internal
communication among Service Processors in different cells and for communication
with external management platforms. The 10/100 LAN connection on the Service
Processor connects to an Ethernet switch. Three ports on the Ethernet switch
connect to the interconnect ports and, through the interconnect cables, to the
Service Processors in other cells. Part of the interconnect cable is the maintenance
LAN that is used to communicate with the Service Processors in a system.
One port from the Ethernet switch is routed to the Ethernet port (RJ-45 connector)
that provides an external LAN connection. In a multiple-cell system, only one
external LAN connection is needed. For redundancy, you can also connect the
external LAN connections in the other cells to the external network.
y USB port
y 9-pin serial port
y 15-pin SVGA (video) port
Other Management Logic
The management board contains other associated logic such as the interface to the
control panel and access to the scan, clocking, and power management subsystems.
Remote Console Interfaces
Management firmware is a comprehensive means of configuring, controlling, and
monitoring individual components of the Express5800/A1160 system and the system as
a whole. Management firmware runs on the Service Processor.
The remote console interfaces are client user interfaces to management firmware that
are provided by Web servers running on Service Processors. You can access Web
interfaces using a browser on any device that is connected to the maintenance LAN that
supports the Express5800/A1160 system.
Different remote console interfaces (sets of Web pages) control each partition, each cell,
and the system as a whole. Each remote console interface provides commands to view
information and update settings for that component.
