About this Manual This manual is designed to provide the basic information for the SMDC M3291/3295. It includes the introduction of hardware, software and general troubleshooting procedures. Chapter 1: Overview – Includes the basic introduction of SMDC, TSO, OPMA and M3295, and Server Management. Chapter 2 and Chapter 3: M3291, M3295 Hardware Information – Introduces the hardware information, including card features, specification, components, jumper setting and installation procedure.
Chapter 1: Overview Servers today provide the necessary resource for corporate databases, financial and statistical analysis data, military defense networks, and much more. To act as the heart and soul of any network, servers must be infallible or near infallible. There must be competent management of IT resources at all times in order to keep servers and networks running smoothly and without incident.
1.3 OPMA and M3295 OPMA stands for Open Platform Management Architecture which is initiated by AMD. It defines a common hardware interface between the server platform and its server management subsystem. M3295 is OPMA compatible card. It’s also compatible with IPMI 2.0 and has dedicated management NIC support. Dedicated management NIC provides high performance and reliability.

The SMDC provides 4 dedicated and independent buses for user expansion. Many devices including Northbridge, Southbridge, Super I/O, Hardware Monitor, LAN 2 2 controller, etc., provide I C communication. These I C buses bridge the proper communication between these devices. Teamed with other IPMB Devices (PMCs and EMCs) Numerous devices in the market already support IPMB communication. BMC facilitates the control and management of these devices.
Sensor Data Record (SDR) Each sensor has its own corresponding characteristics. They are built according to IPMI standard to provide users the most information possible about a sensor. Details such as measuring units and calibration factors are available while they are not provided in traditional hardware monitoring systems. SDR is specific to motherboard. Tyan provides a utility to easily upgrade the BMC firmware to support each motherboard model.
1.5 How SMDC and TSO work The brief descriptions below will help explain how these items function. For further, more in-depth descriptions, please refer to Chapter 3: Software information. Agent – a system with SMDC installed The SMDC is installed in the Agent system that uses a compatible/supported Tyan motherboard. Manager – manages the Agent The Manger is set up to manage the Agent that has the SMDC. The Manager and Agent should be in same subnet.

2.4 M3291 Card Installation Before you begin, please take the following precautions: (1) Ground yourself properly before removing the SMDC from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power cord from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, TYAN recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap. (2) Hold the SMDC by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the card.
3. Direct mounting to TYAN Chassis solution 4. Hard Driver size bracket mounting solution Step 2: Connect 2x25 ribbon cable between Tyan motherboard SMDC connector and Tyan SMDC J1. Make sure that the key on the ribbon cable aligns with the key on the connector, and that the red line on the ribbon aligns with pin 1 of the connector. 15 http://www.tyan.
Step 3: Connect 2x5 ribbon cable between Tyan motherboard COM2 connector and Tyan SMDC J2. (Check with www.tyan.com SMDC FAQ for J2 connector) Make sure that the key on the ribbon cable aligns with the key on the connector, and that the red line on the ribbon aligns with pin 1 of the connector. Step 4: Locate the onboard “SMDC-Link” Network Interface Controller (NIC) on Tyan motherboard. (M3291 uses one of motherboard onboard NIC for IPMI out-ofband. Before using, please make sure which port M3291 used.

Step 1: Insert the card with a degree about 45º into the OPMA socket on the motherboard. Step 2: Press down the card into the socket. Step 3: When properly seated, the retention clips lock into position. 18 http://www.tyan.
Chapter 4: Software Installation 4.1 - Firmware Update 1. Verify/flash Tyan motherboard system BIOS with the SMDC support M3291/M3295 need BIOS support. So before using M3291/3295, please make sure BIOS you used is IPMI enabled. If not, please update BIOS first. Users can refer to http://www.tyan.com/support/html/faq_tso.html SMDC Support List If you wan to know the detail about BIOS for IPMI, please refer the M3291/3295 FAQ. 2. Broadcom NIC Firmware Update It’s M3291 only. M3295 use dedicated NIC.
4) 3. After flashing finish, choose [9] save and exit M3291/3295 Firmware Update When M3291/3295 production, it will load one default firmware. But it’s impossible to fit every motherboard. So before using M3291/3295, User also need update M3291/3295 motherboard specified firmware. M3291/3295 Driver CD contains the firmware file. User also can get the latest firmware from Tyan website. Tyan provide both DOS and Linux utility for firmware updating.
4.2- Configuration Before using M3291/3295, users need do some configuration first, such as IP Address. Otherwise some IPMI function won’t work. Users can use the standard IPMI software to set. And Tyan also provide some utilities to do them. The most important configuration are LAN Configuration and User Password Setting. File “m3291.cfg” contains the default setting value of M3291/3295. User can use utility to load this configuration file and restore the M3291/3295 default setting.
2) UH8D.EXE M3291/3295 Thin Version Utility on DOS It support do configuration via command line. “uh8d /?” for the detail usage. 3) UH8L M3291/3295 Utility on Linux. It use its own user space driver. So don’t use any other IPMI driver when using this utility “./uh8l –h” for detail usage. 22 http://www.tyan.
4) 1. UH8W.EXE M3291/3295 Utility on Windows UH8W.EXE depends on the Intel IPMI Reference Driver. So users must install it when using this utility. About Intel IPMI Reference Driver installation, please refer to M3291/3295 FAQ. LAN Configuration 1) IP Address Users can set M3291/3295 IP Address as they want. Following is the instruction about how to set IP with Tyan utilities. “uh8d /ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” “./uh8l –I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” “uh8w /ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.
5) 2. Due to NIC hardware limitation, not all the IPMI NIC support DHCP. Right now, only Broadcom, Intel 54x/56x/57x and M3995 dedicated LAN support DHCP. nd Broadcom NIC 2 MAC mode On Broadcom NIC, M3291 use the 2nd MAC address mode. It’s to say, M3291 use different MAC with system OS. You can take them as different logical entity, they use different MAC, different IP. But they share the same physical port.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting The following provides the general problems and solutions you will meet in setting up the SMDC card. For more information, please visit our website http://www.tyan.com. Question: What are SMDC and TSO? Solution: SMDC means System Management Daughter Card. It’s an embedded system, independent of the operating system, using the SMBus to monitor hardware sensors. TSO means Tyan System Operator. It is installed on different operating systems and allows remote or local monitoring.
Question: Why can I not discover the SMDC card? Solution: There may be many reasons why the SMDC card is not located: z Check the SMDC light. Make sure that when the computer is on it is in “power on” status (light continually on and not flashing). This assures that the SMDC firmware is functioning properly. When the computer is off the light should be flashing. If it is not flashing, you may need to reset the comes (2 pins next to the battery). z Use Util.exe in DOS mode to check IP and MAC address.
Install driver manually Control Panel->Add Hardware Select “No, I have already connected the hardware” Select “add a new hardware device” Select “Install the hardware the I manually select from a list” Select “System Devices” Select “Have Disk” Select “Browse” Select file “imbdrv.inf” Linux: M3291 can use the OpenIPMI driver in Linux Kernel. But as M3291 KCS port is CA8:CAC, version V33 is needed.

Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your dealer for direct support. Your system has most likely been configured or designed by them and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. Hence, they should be of the most assistance for you.

Compatibility Note: For consistency going forward, this version of the specification terminates all pull-ups to the +3.3VDC rail whereas earlier versions of the specification terminated some of these signals to the +5VDC rail. This specification is backwardcompatible with motherboards that are compliant to the earlier termination specification. Document #: D1739 - 200 59 http://www.tyan.
