6.7.1 Impact to System Features
The following system features are lost or impacted when EU Lot6 mode is enabled:
Increased boot time (~15-20s) when system is DC power cycled.
o This is due to the fact that both the BMC and BIOS are booting at the same time
when the system is powered on (to S0 state). BIOS will need to allow extra time
for the BMC to initialize to the point where it can communicate with BIOS.
Note: Even when EU Lot6 is not enabled and the system is AC cycled, this
increased boot time is applicable if a user immediately attempts to power the system
up (for example, pressing the power button), as in this case both the BMC and BIOS
are booting at the same time
No LAN manageability when on standby, and therefore no remote OOB power on by
BMC.
No support for SOL or KVM for monitoring the entire boot process.
o Since BMC is initializing at the same time as BIOS, it will not be possible to have
an SOL or KVM session established from the beginning of the system boot.
FP status LED will behave differently (it will be off when on standby) rather than showing
fault conditions present at the time the system was powered down.
No beep code due to uninstalled CPU.
No monitoring of any sensors when on standby.
No detection/logging of any ThermTrip faults.
o These result as the system is shutdown by HW so BMC will not be available to
detect that they occurred.
Sensor monitoring after DC power-on will be delayed by the time it takes BMC to
initialize its sensor subsystem (~15 to 20s), possibly losing SEL events or failing to
provide correct FP LED status LED indication.
Note: This delay occurs on each AC cycle even when EU Lot6 mode is disabled
Chassis intrusion not detected when in standby
