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. However, most network and server  
administration staff can just provide part of that support, they cannot be present 24  
hours a day, 7 days a week, on a constant 365-day calendar.  
To help provide a solution for constant vigilance, the server remote management card  
eliminates the problem of having an administrator on call at all times. Tyan has the  
entire package to manage servers and networks. This makes the Tyan solution one of  
the most complete IT resource tools available.  
1.1 What are SMDC?  
The Tyan Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful, yet cost-efficient,  
solution for high-end server management hardware packages. The SMDC provides  
remote system monitoring and control even when the operating system is absent or  
fails, and empowers server boards with advanced industry standard features. It  
effectively enables IT Managers to have remote and multi-interface access to monitor,  
control, and diagnosing activities.  
The SMDC is powered by an intelligent controller known as the Baseboard  
Management Control (BMC). The BMC is a standalone mini-CPU that runs on its own  
Real Time Operating System (RTOS) to complete a variety of tasks. Backed by  
Renesas reliable H8 technology, systems are consistently monitored and supported.  
Unlike regular cards such as AGP cards, network cards or SCSI cards, the SMDC is  
not a peripheral card that requires any hardware specific driver. As long as standby  
power supports the system, the SMDC will monitor the system.  
The Tyan SMDC M3291/3295 provides many diverse methods to communicate with  
the hardware. There is flexibility to choose among Keyboard Controller Style (KCS),  
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) and standard IPMI-Over-LAN  
communication as defined in latest IPMI 2.0 specification.  
The Tyan SMDC  
M3291/3295 is compatible with all IPMI-compliant software as well as with the Tyan  
System Operator™ (TSO) 2.0 software package. The SMDC hardware is OS-  
independent and TSO is fully compatible with all major Operating Systems.  
1.2 SMDC and TSO  
The TSO is software made by Tyan which acts as a front end client that provides  
additional functionality for the SMDC. The SMDC and TSO offer remote management  
over servers. The remote management gives the ability to monitor and control remote  
resources, such as temperature monitoring, fan control, turning system on/off, or  
modifying system settings remotely.

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.

confidential remote configuration of parameters such user passwords and transfer of  
sensitive payload data over SOL.  
Firmware Firewall  
Firmware Firewall is the name for a collection of commands that enable a BMC  
implementation to restrict the ability to execute certain commands or functions from a  
given interface. This can be used to protect against operations that errant or malicious  
software may used to affect the managed system or other systems.  
Auxiliary SMBus / I2C buses  
8
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The SMDC provides 4 dedicated and independent buses for user expansion. Many  
devices including Northbridge, Southbridge, Super I/O, Hardware Monitor, LAN  
controller, etc., provide I2C communication. These I2C 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. PMC stands for Peripheral  
Management Controller and EMC stands for Enclosure Management Controller.  
Depending on the overall set up of the system, the SMDC could initialize and  
communicate with other PMC/EMC residing on the same IPMB bus. Simply connect  
the devices to the designated IPMB connector. Available PMC/EMC options include:  
Satellite controller - SCSI RAID controller unit

Remote Console Redirection over LAN  
Remote Console Redirect over LAN  
Remote Console Redirection allows IT managers to effectively control and maneuver  
text console of a remote machine. Serial console information goes through the  
M3291/3295 SMDC and is processed over the network. TSO software then  
reproduces the exact text console at a remote location. For example, someone may  
own a group of servers at a remote location and could change options of those servers  
from a completely separate location. Another example is that one may log in to the  
Linux serial console through M3291/3295 SMDC over the network.  
See SMDC installation section for details.

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.  
System Event Log (SEL)  
A complete history of system events such as POST events are stored and secured in  
non-volatile memory. Critical events within the server detected by the BMC are  
recorded in the SEL. Certain pre-programmed actions may take place such as system  
reboot or system shutdown.  
Field Replaceable Unit Information Storage (FRU)  
Chassis, Board, Product and other important service information are stored and  
secured in an area generally known as FRU.  
Upgrade BMC Firmware  
The BMC supports Firmware Flash through IPMI firmware commands. The Firmware is  
stored in boot block flash part. The boot block section code is normally programmed in-  
factory and it provides protection against accidental flash failure or power loss.  
BMC Firmware may be upgraded from a remote console running Tyan System  
Operator (TSO). See TSO section for details.  
“Always Ready”  
SMDC runs on stand-by power; all monitoring and alerting operations of BMC can  
begin full operation by using only standby power.  
Tyan System Operator ™ (TSO)  
TSO is a software tool created specifically for IPMI-compliant systems with SMDC. It  
intends to provide IT managers the ability to monitor, control and diagnose their Tyan  
server boards with ease and flexibility in a remote configuration. See Chapter 3:  
Software Information for further details.  
Standard or OEM Drivers  
M3291/3295 can use standard IPMI driver on Windows on LINUX.  
Tyan may provide driver support for other third party software at request. Contact your  
Tyan support representative for more details.

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. So there’s no such requirement for  
M3295.  
Some motherboards use Broadcom NIC as IPMI side-band NIC. User must load  
Broadcom NIC ASF firmware to enable the IPMI function. Users can get them from  
M3291/3295 Driver CD or Tyan website.  
1) copy all file to floppy  
2) boot to DOS  
3) run “asf5704.bat” or “asf5721.bat” to flash the Broadcom NIC firmware  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4) After flashing finish, choose [9] save and exit  
3. 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. The firmware  
release packages include these two utility already. User only need execute  
dosfls” or “./linuxfls”  
20  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
Tyan provide following utilities.  
1) UH8.EXE  
M3291/3295 Full Version Utility on DOS. \  
It supports SEL, SDR, FRU, SENSOR viewer and editor.  
21  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4) 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.  
1. 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.xxx”  
2) M3291 MAC Address  
Normally user need not set MAC address, but users need check if the MAC  
address is right.  
For Intel 82551 and 82546 NIC, M3291 use the same MAC address with  
system OS. Tyan IPMI enabled BIOS will load it automatically. If not, user  
can set it manually  
For Broadcom 5704 and 5721 NIC, M3291 use the different MAC address  
with system OS. Every M3291 will be assigned one unique MAC when  
production. When users flash firmware, parameter “imac” will load this MAC  
from M3291 and write to LAN Configuration.  
3) M3295 MAC Address  
M3295 uses dedicated management NIC. So user need not set MAC address  
also. Parameter “imac” is Tyan utility also can be used to load M3295 MAC  
and write to LAN Configuration.  
4) Net Mask, Gateway and Broadcast ARP  
Users need check if these parameter are correct.  
If use Intel 82551 and 82546 as IPMI NIC, Broadcast ARP must be enabled  
5) DHCP  
23  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
5) Broadcom NIC 2nd 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.  
2. User Password Setting  
M3291/3295 default supports 5 users:  
NULL User ID 1, user name is empty  
Operator User ID 2  
Admin User ID 3  
Callback User ID 4  
User. User ID 5  
Their default passwords are same with the user name.  
Users can change M3291/3295 username and password as they want.  
But Tyan utility only support user password changing.

Chapter 5: Software Information  
Tyan System Operator (TSO) is an IPMI-aware management tool for systems based on  
TYAN motherboards. Through TSO, Users have an easier way to remotely access  
system health information, do system maintenance and make the running systems  
much safer.  
5.1 What is TSO  
Three Components  
The specially designed software TSO (Tyan System Operator) includes three  
components:  
z
z
z
TSO MANAGER  
TSO AGENT(optional)  
TSO CONSOLE  
TSO supports the following operating system:  
Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro (32/64-bit) and Windows Server 2003 (32/64-bit)  
RedHat 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0, Server 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 (32/64-bit)  
SuSE Server 8.0, 9.0, Professional 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 (32/64-bit)  
MANAGER  
MANAGER is the core component of TSO. It provides communication between  
CONSOLE and AGENT. MANAGER is normally installed at the gateway or proxy  
machine in the subnet  
AGENT(optional)  
AGENT runs on a target system which is to be managed. AGENT is normally installed  
at a data-server or email-server machines. As IPMI improvement, most of IPMI function  
can be done under out-of-band, users don’t need install AGENT normally.  
CONSOLE  
CONSOLE provides GUI (Graphic User Interface) for an administrator to perform all  
management functions.

5.5 Pre-setup and Installation  
5.5.1 Pre-setup  
Authentication and Privilege  
TSO provides security access with MANAGER Authentication, Agent  
Authentication and SMDC Authentication. User needs to prepare the  
privilege information (user-name and password) for each system in order to  
access target system.  
z
z
No password is prohibited  
Case sensitive under Linux and Out-of-Band  
Internal-IP and External-IP  
TSO requires Internal-IP and External-IP setup by user during the TSO installation.  
User needs to make sure the IP matching with Network Interface Controllers (NIC).  
z
Configuration I  
If CONSOLE is often being used outside of the subnet in which all/some  
machines are equipped with SMDC, the machine that runs MANAGER would  
have 2 NIC’s. MANAGER will likely be installed at the gateway or proxy  
machine in the subnet.  
¾
¾
Configure Internal IP to be a valid IP under this subnet. This subnet is  
typically known as a Local Area Network (LAN). The IP would look  
like this for example: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.254  
Configure External IP to be a valid IP under the main network. This  
main network is typically known as a Wide Area Network (WAN). This  
IP would be a ‘true’ IP, meaning it is the one and only one among all  
the machines in the world. The IP would look like this for example:  
206.13.28.12, 216.239.53.99  
z
Configuration II  
If CONSOLE is being used inside the same subnet, the machine that runs  
Manager may have only 1 NIC. MANAGER can be located on any machine  
in the network. Notice that MANAGER and CONSOLE need not be installed  
on the same machine even though they can/may be install on the same  
machine.  
¾
¾
Configure Internal IP to be a valid IP under this subnet.  
Configure External IP to be the same as Internal IP.  
z
Firewall  
Firewall setup information:  
TSO MANAGER and CONSOLE will use the following 4 ports for firewall  
setup.

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.  
Where can I find information about SMDC/TSO on the Tyan Website?  
You can find a page of information for all related motherboards and SMDC/TSO needs  
Where can I find information about bios versions that are needed for my  
motherboard so it supports SMDC/TSO correctly?  
Tyan released BIOS(depend on board spec that support SMDC) are available for  
SMDC.  
Where can I find information about firmware versions that are needed for my  
motherboard so it supports SMDC/TSO correctly?  
You can find a listing of all the firmware versions at the following link:  
Where can I find information about utilities that are needed for my motherboard  
so it supports SMDC/TSO correctly?

Where can I find the link to the manual?  
You can find the manual at the following link:  
Question: Does your SMDC support OpenIPMI?  
Solution: Yes. Please enable Gratitous ARP when using OpenIPMI and other IPMI  
compliant software.  
Question: Do you provide a 64-bit version of the TSO Agent?  
Solution: Yes  
47  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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
z
Use Util.exe in DOS mode to check IP and MAC address. Make sure they are  
set correctly on the SMDC card.  
Check the setting of “discovery” in Console tool menu. Assure that the IP  
addresses are within the range indicated. Also make sure this function is  
enabled.  
z
z
Use Util.exe in DOS mode to assure that the firmware version and board  
model are correct. If you do not have the correct firmware you may need to  
download it from the TYAN SMDC ftp site.  
Make sure the correct SMDC firmware for the Broadcom Lan chip is flashed.  
Also assure you are using the correct NIC port which is supported for this  
board.  
Read “Readme” first and also use Util.exe to enable ARP broadcast.  
Question: Does SMDC support the ARP protocol?  
Solution: Yes, SMDC supports the Gratuitous ARP and broadcasts the ARP package  
periodically.  
Question: What are the password and user name for protected SMDC firmware?  
Solution:  
For out of Band As specified by IPMI there are 4 security accounts: “Operator, Admin,  
Callback, User and Null (blank)”. Use Util.exe to set this password. You can change  
this password using the remote console function ‘Change Password’. The username  
and password are case-sensitive.  
For in band –Log into the monitored system using a valid username and password as  
required by the respective operating system.  
Question: What’s the M3291 Driver  
Solution:  
As IPMI is OS-independent, normally users don’t need load any driver when using  
M3291. But some times, when users want to use some in-band utility or application,  
IPMI driver is needed.  
Windows:  
M3291 can use the Intel IPMI Reference Driver. Users can get it at:  
Install driver automatically  
execute "win2kinstall path\imbdrv.inf *imbdrv"  
sometimes, it will fail. It’s not M3291 issue. It’s driver installation issue. you  
have to install driver manually.  
48  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
modprobe ipmi_devintf  
modprobe ipmi_si  
If “ipmi_si” module load fail, you can try to add parameter:  
modprobe ipmi_si type=kcs ports=0xca8 irqs=0 regspacings=4  
Question: How can I use SMDC function before OS is installed and running?  
Solution: Follow the steps below:  
1. Connect the AC power.  
2. Boot the system into BIOS and shutdown the BIOS – this step only need to be done  
once after one SMDC is installed in the mainboard, and SMDC needs the information  
of MAC address from mainboard.  
3. Install the TSO manager and TSO console correctly in client machine.  
4. Start TSO console and use Tool/Discovery setting to make sure the SMDC  
discovery is enabled (including broadcast discovery).  
5. All systems with SMDC installed will show up. Correctly set the IP address.  
6. Now you can use the Power/Off and other SMDC functions

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. Furthermore, if you purchased  
your system from a dealer near you, take the system to them directly to have it
