The MegaRAC M300V card is a high-end OPMA service processor based on AMI's MG 9091B

(Verbena II) System on Chip (SOC). The MegaRAC M300V card allows for complete server

management, with text and graphical redirection, in a 2.50' x 2.75' form factor. The MegaRAC

M300V card enables OEMs and motherboard manufacturers to easily integrate KVM server

management into their server and board designs.

The MegaRAC M300V card is a 2.5" x 2.75" daughter card module, which implements AMI's

extensive IPMI and KVM/IP technology in a management card solution compatible with all Intel

and AMD -type motherboards with OPMA connector. The module interfaces with various

components on the motherboard to manage the server efficiently.

The MegaRAC M300V card is based on AMI's MG 9091 (Verbena II) highly integrated System

on Chip (SOC). Verbena II SOC provides both Serial over LAN and KVM over LAN capability,

as well as a 10/100 Base-T LAN connection for dedicated management LAN. Serial over LAN

allows for remote operation of the server via a terminal interface, connected via an RS232 link.

KVM over LAN allows for remote server operation that adds graphical redirection to text, using

the server’s video output and keyboard and mouse inputs.

The MegaRAC M300V card features video capture of up to 1280 x 1024, applying AMI's

AAVICAII compression engine, which uses intelligent algorithms to significantly reduce network

traffic and provide high-performance redirection. The engine interfaces with the server’s DVO

video interface and USB bus.

The MegaRAC M300V card implements media redirection for the CD/DVD/ROM drive and

floppy drive at the same time. This feature enables remote installation of the operating system or

applications.

Acronyms and Terminology

This section lists the definitions of acronyms and terms used in this specification. In some of the

definitions, the IPMI Specification is referred to.

Term Definition

BIOS Basic Input Output System. This is the boot firmware on a standard PC system (including servers). It also

provides some abstraction for system hardware.

BMC Baseboard Management Controller. This is the main component of the OPMA subsystem that provides IPMI

command processing, alerting, error logging, and so on in compliance with the IPMI specification.

BT IPMI’s Block Transfer command interface.

CLI Command Line Interface. This is a text-based interface to a BMC.

Conventions

The following table describes the conventions used in this specification.

Term Definition

Down solution This refers to a basic, BMC-based, IPMI 1.5-compliant management subsystem that is

soldered to the motherboard.

OPMA When OPMA is used as a noun, it should be taken by the reader to mean the OPMA

specification.

Upgrade kit This refers to a mCard which is used to add enhanced capabilities to a server that employs a

down solution.

Hardware signal names OPMA hardware signal names are presented in capital letters with underscores between

words. If the name ends with “L” then the signal is low true. If the name does not end with

“L”, it is high true.

Example: MCARD_CLR_CMOS_L

IPMI command names The names of all IPMI commands are presented with no spaces between the words in the

name. Only the first letter of each word is capitalized. Example: GetSystemTypeIdentifier

IPMI command parameters The names of all IPMI command parameters are presented with spaces between the words in

the name. Only the first letter of each word is capitalized unless the word is an acronym or

abbreviation.

Example: Interface ID

ms Abbreviation for millisecond(s) (1/1,000

t

h

of a second)

μs Abbreviation for microsecond(s) (1/1,000,000

t

h

of a second)

h Suffix for a number expressed in hexadecimal. Every four digit set is separated by an

underscore for readability.

Example: 1234_5678h

Note: Decimal is the default radix.

b Prefix for a number expressed in binary. Every four digits set is separated by an underscore

for readability.

Example: 1010_1101b

Note:

Decimal is the default radix.

Bit fields [x:y] Brackets designate bit fields. For example, [0] means bit zero. [3:0] refers to bits zero through

three.

The M300V card has a user-friendly Graphics User Interface (GUI) called the M300V GUI. It is

designed to be easy to use. It has a low learning curve because it uses a standard Internet browser.

You can expect to be up and running in less than five minutes.

This chapter allows you to become familiar with the M300V GUI’s various functions. Each

function is described in detail.

Initial Configuration of the MegaRAC® M300V card

Plug the MegaRAC® M300V card into the OPMA connector on your motherboard.

You can access the MegaRAC® M300V card from another system via the network. AMI refers to

this other system as the client system. To do this, you must know the MegaRAC® M300V card’s

IP Address. If you have installed the MegaRAC® M300V card on a network that uses DHCP, you

can search the network for the MegaRAC® M300V card. To locate and find out its IP Address,

you can run Intel Device Spy for UPnP Technologies.

Download Device Spy for UPnP Technologies from the Intel website:

http://www.intel.com/

Do a search for the following phrase:

Intel® Tools for UPnP Technologies

The download page changes from time to time, so doing a search will give you the best results.

Download the compressed file and uncompress it. The file will have a filename similar to the

following:

218892_218892.zip

The ZIP file will contain an EXE file that will have a filename similar to the following:

Intel_Tools_4UT_v1768.exe

After you run the EXE file, the Device Spy.exe file will become available. Device

Spy.exe is the file that contains the Intel Device Spy for UPnP Technologies program.

Device Spy: Intel's Universal Control Point (UCP). This tool readily tests "action" invocations and

events. Device Spy also traces packets sent to UPnP devices.
