1.AST2050 Overview
1.1.About AST2050
The AST2050 chipset is an Integrated Remote Management Processor introduced by ASPEED
Technology Inc. It is a high performance and highly integrated SOC device designed to support various
management functions required for server platforms which require baseboard management, virtual
storage functions, and/or KVM-over-IP functions.
1.2.Key Features
Embedded 200MHz ARM926 32-bit RISC CPU
64MB DDR2-400 SDRAM
8MB SPI Flash
IPMI 2.0 Compliant
KVM over IP
Virtual Media via USB
Web Based User Interface, no additional client software needed, security with SSL(HTTPS)
Monitor and Manage all Environmental Sensors
Notify System Administrators with Alert: Beep, Warning LED, SNMP and Email
Sophisticated User Management
1.3.IPMI and KVM-over-IP Products
TYAN currently creates 2 different SKUs of the AST2050 product. One is an IPMI only version which
provides full IPMI management. The other is a KVM-over-IP version which includes all the functionality
of the IPMI only version, but also with the added features of KVM-over-IP and virtual storage support.
You would need reference the specification sheet details for each TYAN motherboard in order to pick
the appropriate SKU of product that would contain the level of support necessary for your IPMI
environment.
1.4.Web based GUI
The AST2050 has an embedded web interface which provides a user-friendly Graphics User Interface
(GUI) called the Aster GUI to access all the IPMI features. All you have to do to access the Aster GUI,
is simply enter the IP address of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) you wish to interface
with into your web browser. It is designed to be easy to use and has an easy learning curve because it
uses a standard Internet browser. You can expect to be up and running in only minutes.
2.Using the AST2050
The AST2050 allows both local and remote access to the BMC. For local access to the AST2050
chipset users may utilize the local LPC bus through a utility called KCSFLASH. Users may also choose
a IPMI utility of their choice including open source tools such as IPMITool, OpenIPMI, IPMI Util or
TYAN’s UH8 IPMI utility. The UH8.exe utility is available through the TYAN website. The Operating
System (OS) must have an IPMI driver installed for local management through the KCS interface to
work. Most modern OS’s have an embedded IPMI driver. If your particular OS doesn’t have an
embedded driver, see Section 3 at the end of the manual for further details.
Remote access to the AST2050 is provided by an onboard NIC that is shared with the Intel 82574 chip
via a RMII interface. Users are able to access the IPMI chipset through this LAN by entering the
AST2050’s IP address into the address bar of a web browser. Follow the steps outlined in Section 2.1
Network Configuration to configure the NIC prior to use. If you are unsure about which LAN port is
dedicate to the AST2050, please reference the motherboard manual or the TYAN Support Section for
further information about the specifics for your motherboard.
2.1.Network Configuration
By default the AST2050 is set to configure its network interface through a DHCP server. The
AST2050 will try to find a DHCP server during initialization. Once a connection is made, the DHCP
server will provide the AST2050 chip with an IP address, net mask and gateway address. We
recommend assigning the AST2050 a fixed IP address according to its MAC address instead of using
DHCP so that the IPMI IP address does not change between power cycles. The MAC addresses are
printed on white stickers with barcodes near the NICs on all TYAN motherboards.
Regardless of which of the two methods used to obtain the IP address, the IP address will be displayed
by the IPMI chipset at the initial POST during the memory count screen once the device has finished its
initialization process.
The AST2050 is fully IPMI 2.0 compliant so any IPMI utility may be used to do the LAN configuration.
TYAN provides an IPMI utility that may be used to do this configuration called the UH8. UH8 is the
DOS variant of the tool, UH8L works under Linux and UH8W is the Windows version of the tool. Both of
these UH8 utilities are available on the TYAN website.
3.Aster GUI
In the next following sections we will detail each part of the Aster GUI. You will find detailed
information about the System Information, Server Health, Configuration, Remote Control, Maintenance
and Language settings.
3.1.How to Login into the Aster GUI
Any Java and HTTPS Enabled Web browser may be used to access the AST2050 Web GUI. Enter the
IP address of theAST2050 in the address bar and you will be redirected to the login page.
You will be prompted to enter a user name and password. The default user name and password are as
follows: Field Default
User Name root
Password superuser
Note: The default user name and password are in lower-case. When you log in using the root
user name and password you have full administrative powers. It is advised that you change the
root password once you log in.
3.2.System Information Tab
The System Information tab will show the system power on status, firmware revision, release date and
build time.
3.3.Server Heath Tab
The Server Health tab contains options to show the motherboard sensor readings and events. The
Sensor Data Repository (SDR), Sensor Reading, Sensor Event Log (SEL) and Platform Event Filters
(PEF) are all implemented in compliance with the IPMI2.0 specification.
3.3.1 Sensor Reading
This page displays sensor information including readings and status. You can toggle viewing the
thresholds for the sensors by pressing the Show Thresholds button.
3.3.2 Event Log
This section show you data related to the servers health, such as sensor readings and the event log.
3.4 Configuration Tab
This page contains options to configure Alerts, Mouse mode, Network, SMTP, Users, and Date/Time
NTP Settings.
3.4.1 Alerts
This page allows the user to configure how the BMC handles IPMI alerts. Alert destinations may be set
to allow the system to send notifications when pre-programmed conditions are met. Test alerts may
also be sent from this menu to test the notification settings.
Note: When configuring theAlerts setting, please confirm that you have ENABLED Platform Event
Filter (PEF) first in the bios. On some motherboards, the BIOS will disable PEF as the default setting.
You can check it in the BIOS setup or by using UH8 to check if PEF is enabled properly.
3.4.1.1 Modify Alert
The Modify Alert page contains drop down menus and fields to configure alert types (email, SNMP
traps), event severity, destination IP/Email address, and subject etc.
Note: After finished configure Alerts setting, you also should confirm you had configure SMTP mail
server IP. Please refer to Chapter 2.4.5 for further details.
