 Capability to block logins for a period of time after several consecutive failed login
attempts. The lock-out period and the number of failed logins that initiates the lock-out
period are configurable by the user.
 Server Power Control - Ability to force into Setup on a reset.
6.4.3.18 Virtual Front Panel
 Virtual Front Panel is the module present as “Virtual Front Panel” on the left side in the
embedded web server when "remote Control" tab is clicked.
 Main Purpose of the Virtual Front Panel is to provide the front panel functionality virtually.
 Virutal Front Panel (VFP) will mimic the status LED and Power LED status and Chassis
ID alone. It is automatically in sync with BMC every 40 seconds.
 For any abnormal status LED state, Virtual Front Panel will get the reason behind the
abnormal or status LED changes and displayed in VFP side.
 As Virtual Front Panel uses the chassis control command for power actions. It won’t log
the Front button press event since Logging the front panel press event for Virtual Front
Panel press will mislead the administrator.
 For Reset by Virtual Front Panel, the reset will be done by a “Chassis control” command.
 For Reset by Virtual Front Panel, the restart cause will be because of “Chassis control”
command.
 During Power action, Power button/Reset button should not accept the next action until
current Power action is complete and the acknowledgment from BMC is received.
 EWS will provide a valid message during Power action until it completes the current
Power action.
 The VFP does not have any effect on whether the front panel is locked by “Set Front
Panel Enables” command.
 The chassis ID LED provides a visual indication of a system being serviced. The state of
the chassis ID LED is affected by the following actions:
 Toggled by turning the chassis ID button on or off.
 There is no precedence or lock-out mechanism for the control sources. When a new
request arrives, previous requests are terminated. For example, if the chassis ID button
is pressed, then the chassis ID LED changes to solid on. If the button is pressed again,
then the chassis ID LED turns off.
 Note that the chassis ID will turn on because of the original chassis ID button press and
will reflect in the Virtual Front Panel after VFP sync with BMC. Virtual Front Panel won’t
reflect the chassis LED software blinking by software command as there is no
mechanism to get the chassis ID Led status.
 Only Infinite chassis ID ON/OFF by software command will reflect in EWS during
automatic/manual EWS sync up with BMC.
 Virtual Front Panel help should available for virtual panel module.
 At present, NMI button in VFP is disabled. It can be used in future.
6.4.3.19 Embedded Platform Debug
The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable
MSRs, PCI config-space registers, and so on). This feature allows a user to export this data into
a file that is retrievable by the embedded web GUI, as well as through host and remote IPMI
methods, for the purpose of sending to an Intel engineer for an enhanced debugging capability.
The files are compressed, encrypted, and password protected. The file is not meant to be
viewable by the end user but rather to provide additional debugging capability to an Intel support
engineer.
