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. Make sure they are
set correctly on the SMDC card.
z 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 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.
z 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:
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm
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.
