2. 2 X 5 Pin Serial Cable for Serial over LAN

This Cable is used for Serial over LAN(SOL). It connects the M3291 COM port (J2) and

Motherboard on board COM2.

3. NIC Port For IPMI out-of-band Function

M3291 uses one of motherboard onboard NIC for IPMI out-of-band.

Firmware Update

1. BIOS Update

M3291 need BIOS support. So before using M3291, 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 M3291 Support List

If you wan to know the detail about BIOS for IPMI, please refer the M3291 FAQ.

2. Broadcom NIC Firmware Update

Some motherboards use Broadcom NIC as IPMI NIC. User must load Broadcom NIC ASF

firmware to enable the IPMI function. Users can get them from M3291 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

4) After flashing finish, choose [9] save and exit

3. M3291 Firmware Update

When M3291 production, it will load one default firmware. But it’s impossible to fit every

motherboard. So before using M3291, User also need update M3291 motherboard specified

firmware.

M3291 Driver CD contains the firmware file. User 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”

Configuration

Before using M3291, 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. User can use utility to load

this configuration file and restore the M3291 default setting.

Tyan provide following utilities.

1) UH8.EXE

M3291 Full Version Utility on DOS. \

It supports SEL, SDR, FRU, SENSOR viewer and editor.

2) UH8D.EXE

M3291 Thin Version Configuration Utility on DOS

It support do configuration via command line.

“uh8d /?” for the detail usage.

3) UH8L

M3291 Configuration Utility on Linux.

It uses its own user space driver. So don’t use any other IPMI driver when using this utility

“./uh8l –h” for detail usage.

4) UH8W.EXE

M3291 Configuration 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 FAQ.

1. LAN Configuration

1) IP Address

Users can set M3291 IP Address as they want. M3291 share the LAN port with system

OS. But IP address on M3291 can be either same or different with system IP address.

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) 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) 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

4) DHCP

Due to NIC hardware limitation, not all the IPMI NIC support DHCP. Right now, only

Broadcom 5704 and 5721 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.
