Wherein, the baseboard management controller has a group of pins used for defining the communicational address for transmitting IPMI information; the intelligent platform managing interface is electrically coupled to the baseboard management controller and comprises a first data transmission interface, a second data transmitting interface, a network transmission interface and an I2C bus, for use in transmitting IMPI message to server.

Description

Intelligent platform management module
[Ji Intraoperative field]
The invention relates to a kind of management interface, and particularly relevant for a kind of IPMI of improvement.
[Bei Jing Ji Intraoperative]
Since 1998 came out, IPMI (to call the IPMI interface in the following text) was in order to provide server independently telemonitoring, management, error diagnosis and system restoration function.In addition, the IPMI 2.0 specification interfaces of delivering at the beginning of 2004 have increased important function such as authentication and encryption on the basis of former IPMI 1.5 specifications.Therefore, for Information Security, new communication protocol can provide the function of more surcharges on the IPMI transfer of data.
In the system of IPMI, baseboard management controller (BMC) adopts LPC (Low Pin Count) bus general on the X86 chipset as data transmission interface mostly, and can be at I 2Transmit the communication protocol of IPMI information on the C bus and come response server and detecting interface equipment.Yet, slot that pci interface provided on the existing motherboard and IPMI interface are subjected to the factor of motherboard wiring and limit for height, want to support that IPMI1.5/2.0 specification and procotol function are technical test, therefore must improve the defined pin of IPMI interface position, and give new procotol function, could abreast of the times trend.
[summary of the invention]
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of intelligent platform management module, be applicable in the server, can support the Network Transmission interface of IPMI 1.5/2.0 specification and IPMI special use.
The present invention proposes a kind of intelligent platform management module, is applicable in the server, and this intelligent platform management module mainly comprises a baseboard management controller and an IPMI.Wherein, baseboard management controller has a group of pins, transmits the mailing address of IPMI information in order to definition.In addition, IPMI is electrically coupled to baseboard management controller, and it comprises one first data transmission interface, one second data transmission interface, a Network Transmission interface and an I 2The C bus is in order to transmit IPMI information to this server.
Described according to embodiments of the invention, the first above-mentioned data transmission interface for example is universal asynchronous serial transmission (UART) interface, and second data transmission interface for example is low pin position (LPC) coffret.
Xiang is in Xian You Ji Intraoperative, and the present invention reaches the purpose of two-way communication between baseboard management controller and the motherboard because of Network Transmission interface that adopts the IPMI special use and the data transmission interface of supporting the IPMI1.5/2.0 specification.Therefore, based on above-mentioned, the wiring of motherboard is comparatively succinct, saving the wiring space of motherboard, and can solve the limit for height factor of motherboard simultaneously.
[description of drawings]
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of intelligent platform management module of the present invention.
[embodiment]
Please refer to Fig. 1, it is the schematic diagram of intelligent platform management module of the present invention.This intelligent platform management module 100 mainly comprises a baseboard management controller (BMC) 110 and an IPMI (IPMI) 120.Wherein, baseboard management controller 110 mainly receives or responds the instruction of being assigned by server (not illustrating) by IPMI communication protocol, and can provide independently functions such as telemonitoring, management, error diagnosis and system restoration of server through IPMI 120, with the state of real-time understanding peripheral device.In the present embodiment, baseboard management controller 110 for example is a single-chip microcomputer, it connects devices such as detecting voltage device 130, flash memory (Flash ROM) 140, static random access memory (SRAM) 150, and but executive's interface software obtains the status data of peripheral device and store status data in internal memory, again the data that obtain is reported to long-range server by IPMI 120 at last.In addition, baseboard management controller 110 more can be supported the function of temperature control, detecting voltage and the error diagnosis of dual processor, is not described in detail in this.
Effectively integrate requirement with single coffret for reaching data, so that the wiring of motherboard 160 is more succinct, the present invention is a group of pins of definition baseboard management controller 110, data that received in order to transmission base plate Management Controller 110 and definition mailing address are to reach the purpose of transmitted in both directions.In addition, on design IPMI 120, then with a plurality of data transmission interfaces 122,124, a Network Transmission interface 126 and an I 2C bus 128 is integrated into single IPMI 120, and its width for example is 40mm, and 80 pin positions are to meet the limit for height demand of motherboard 160.Wherein, data transmission interface 122,124 can adopt the coffret of universal asynchronous serial transmission (UART) interface and low pin position (LPC), transmits IPMI information.Moreover, utilize the Network Transmission interface 126 of IPMI special use, can be directly the signal that baseboard management controller 110 received is seen through LAN and respond to server, therefore can not need to see through indirectly the Network Transmission interface and the controller of motherboard 160 itself, also can be to remote server with data passes.
In sum, the present invention reaches the purpose of two-way communication between baseboard management controller and the motherboard because of Network Transmission interface that adopts the IPMI special use and the data transmission interface of supporting IPMI 1.5/2.0 specification.Therefore, based on above-mentioned, the wiring of motherboard is comparatively succinct, saving the wiring space of motherboard, and can solve the limit for height factor of motherboard simultaneously.
