1. Introduction
This
Technical
Product
Specification
(TPS)
provides
details
about
the
architecture
and
feature
set
of
the
Intel
®
Remote
Management
Module
2
(Intel
®
RMM2).
This
document does not replace
the Intel RMM2 Users Guide,
but
provides
enhanced
information
to assist
with
understanding
and
learning
more
about
specific
features
of
the
board.
2. Product Overview
The
Intel RMM2
is
a
2.25-inch
x
2.75-inch
printed
circuit board.
When
installed
o
nto
the
Intel
®
RMM
connector
on
Intel
®
server
boards,
it
provides
an increased
level
of
manageability
over
the
basic
server
management
available
to
the
server board.
Designed
to
work
with
the
Baseboard
Management
Controller
(BMC),
this small
form-factor
mezzanine
card
enables
graphical
server
control
from
anywhere,
at anytime.
2.1
Virtual
Presence
The
Intel
®
RMM2
provides
Virtual
Presence (Remote Console) at the host server.
This
presence
includes
keyboard / video / mouse (KVM)
redirection
over
Transmission
Control
Protocol
/
Internet
Protocol
(TCP/IP)
using
an Ethernet
network
port
dedicated
for
remote
management.
The
keyboard,
video,
and
mouse
of
the
remote
server
are
available
to
the administrator
from
any
network
location,
regardless
of
the
state
of
the
server
(OS
loading, running,
or
not
responding
(blue
screen),
Pre-OS
BIOS
boot
and
setup,
etc).
The
dedicated Ethernet
controller
supports
Out
Of
Band
(OOB) access.
In
other
words,
it
runs
separately
from
the
OS
and
the
BIOS.
This
separation
allows
the Intel RMM2
to
operate
continuously,
thus
supporting
24
X
7
management
of the
system.
The
management
traffic
does
not
share
network
bandwidth
with
the
host
system
software.
