• DRAFT Hardware Management Specifications for IPMI

Proposed specifications for the IPMI implementation on any device using IPMI. This includes PDUs, Servers, Switches and Storage devices. The specifications allow a Data Center System Manager uniform remote access to the hardware in the rack. All the specifications have questions in red.

OCP Specifications for IPMI

Specification	Version	Date	Description
OCP ID	0.04	June 9, 2014	Identify all OCP specifications implemented by a single IPM Controller
ICAP Base	0.02	June 9, 2014	The basic functions of an OCP IPM Controller that a Data Center System Manager depends on
ICAP OPTI	0.02	June 9, 2014	The identification of XFSP+/QSFP bays and protocol independent monitoring of optical links for XSFP+/QSFP modules
ICAP DRAM	0.03	June 9, 2014	The identification and temperature monitoring of DDR3/DDR4 modules

As Data Centers raise room temperatures, potentially on a daily basis, the ICAP OPTI and ICAP DRAM provide feedback on how close the hardware is to the manufacturer define thermal limits.

• DRAFT Requirements for Firmware Update

The draft specification identifies the firmware update requirements that all OCP compliant platforms and devices must adhere to. The Firmware Update solution is for the application the user interfaces and the capabilities of the embedded firmware on the servers, switches and storage devices. The requirements are broken into four sections:

1. General: general firmware update requirements
2. Security: requirements related to the integrity and authenticity of the image
3. Control: requirements related to how firmware updates are controlled
4. Status: requirements related to how/what status is available

• Open CloudServer

A chassis system that utilizes EIA 310-D 19" racks has been contributed by Microsoft. The system has been built with operational knowledge gained by operating over a million servers. The 12U chassis has dedicated, hard-wired out of band management, phase-balanced power, and high efficiency cooling.

System on Chip (SoC) Servers

The SoC systems are typically a server card that must be installed into a larger platform to operate. These cards could be installed onto a larger "baseboard" with many SoC cards or as a single server into a larger platform. There are storage solutions that utilize a single Micro-Server card.

This section includes the SoC cards and applicable platforms.
