4.2 Advanced Management Feature Support
This section explains the advanced management features supported by BMC firmware.
4.2.1 Enabling Advanced Management Features
Advanced management features will only be enabled by the BMC when it detects the presence
of the Intel
®
Remote Management Module 3 (Intel
®
RMM3) card. Without the Intel
®
RMM3, the
advanced features will be dormant.
4.2.1.1 RMM3
The Intel
®
RMM3 provides the BMC with an additional dedicated network interface. The
dedicated interface will consume its own LAN channel. Additionally, the Intel
®
RMM3 will
provide additional flash storage for advanced features like WS-MAN.
