What is the Emergency Management Port (EMP)?
The Emergency Management Port (EMP) is the hardware portion of the EMP console utility. It is an extension of Server Management software that allows remote power up, power down, reboot, access to event logs and diagnostic information via the COM-2 port, which can be accessed via a serial-to-serial connection or with an external modem. To take advantage of EMP on the E8000 server board, your power supply must support 0.8A of +5V standby current, which powers the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) when the server is in a powered-down state. On the E8000, the COM-2 Port is the serial port closest to the RJ-45 network connector. For further details on the Emergency Management Port, please refer to the E8000 Product Guide or the E8000 Technical Product Specification.
