Is the E8000 server board instrumented for hardware management?
Yes. The E8000 server board has been designed with extensive server management firmware. This firmware consists of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), a microcontroller responsible for all server management, monitoring and control functions. For details on the functionality of this firmware, see the E8000 server board Technical Product Specification (TPS). Intel Server Control 1.8 server management software is included with the E8000 server board product. The combination of the E8000 firmware, the Emergency Management Port (EMP) and the Intel Server Control 1.8 software provides in-band remote-management capabilities to include proactive system alerting, data logging and more.
