Introduction
This document is intended to serve as a “quick start guide” to the configuration of the Emergency
Management Port (EMP) on an Intel® L440GX+ based server system. The L440GX+ Product Guide and
Technical Product Specification (TPS) provide additional detailed information on the Emergency
Management Port. The Product Guide is available on the Resource CD-ROM that comes with the L440GX+
Server Board. The L440GX+ TPS is available from the Intel Customer Support website, the URL which is
provided below.
Assumptions
It is assumed that the integrator has a basic familiarity with BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) Set-up, serial
port and modem configuration.
It is further assumed that the integrator has configured an Intel L440GX+ based server system with the
following minimum components. An Intel L440GX+ Server Board integrated in an approved chassis, a
minimum of one Intel Pentium® II Processor, a processor terminator card in the secondary slot 1 connector,
and a 32MB (SDRAM DIMM) system memory. Refer to the L440GX+ Product Guide, Technical Product
Specification, tested chassis and power supply document, tested memory document, and the supported
Hardware and Operating System documents. These documents can be found at the Intel Corporation website

Supplemental Hardware and Software
In order to employ the EMP remotely a Hayes* compatible external modem must be attached to the COM2
port of the L440GX+ based server system. Additionally, the EMP Console software utility must be installed
on an Intel® Architecture PC with a modem running Microsoft* Windows 95* or Windows NT* 4.0
Workstation. Among others, 3Com* US Robotics* Sportster*, and Courier* external modems have been
demonstrated to effectively work with the EMP.
EMP Overview
The Emergency Management Port provides a rudimentary degree of remote server management with
virtually no additional cost. It operates on top of the Server Board’s BIOS, independent of the Operating
System. The following capabilities are provided:
Server power up/down
- System reset
- Text-console redirect (focused on remote BIOS set-up)
- Viewing access to critical event logs stored in Non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
- System Event Log (SEL) – log of all critical server events, used for server monitoring
and management.
- Sensor Data Records (SDR) – listing of all sensor fields programmed in the firmware
of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) used for server management monitoring.
- Field Replaceable Units (FRU) – listing of all replaceable components by serial
number.
The EMP Console utility is a 32 bit graphical user interface software utility designed to be installed on a PC
running Windows* 95 or Windows NT* 4.0 Workstation. EMP Console installation diskettes can be created
from the L440GX+ Server Board Resource CD-ROM that ships with the server board. The EMP Console
connects to the L440GX+ Server board’s COM2 port through either a serial-serial link or in most cases, a
modem.
