1: Pilot II Overview
ServerEngines Pilot II is an industry-first single-chip IP-based server
management controller with integrated graphics, high resolution KVM over
IP, remote virtual storages, and IPMI 2.0-compliant baseboard management
(BMC). Pilot-- II is mainly targeted at next generation servers and provides a
highly integrated server class product.

1.3
Web based GUI
Pilot II has an embedded web server, which provides a user-friendly
Graphics User Interface (GUI) called the Aster GUI. It is designed to have a
familiar interface because it uses a standard Internet browser design. You
can expect to be up and running in no time with this familiar interface.
6
http://www.tyan.com
2: Using the Pilot II Interface
Pilot II provides 2 separate interfaces. The first is the KCS interface on the
local LPC bus. A user can use any IPMI software via Pilot II KCS interface.
When inside an OS, this interface will require driver support to function so
please refer to the Driver section of the manual for further detailed
information.
The second interface is through the LAN via a RMII interface. TYAN
creates several different platforms which have various LAN configurations.
You’ll need to double check with the motherboard manual to determine
which LAN is for the Pilot II chipset. Once you have established the proper
LAN, a user can run any IPMI remote software or web based browser to
access the Pilot II management features. Each motherboard will need to
have the LAN properly configured prior to this interface working. If there is
any question as to which is the proper LAN for the Pilot II, you can reference
the TYAN motherboard manual or the LAN port instruction picture that is
packaged with the firmware update release package which can be found on
the TYAN website.
2.1
Network Configuration
By default, Pilot II BMC configures its network interface to DHCP. When
initializing, the BMC will search for a DHCP server in the network. When the
DHCP server receives a request from the Pilot II BMC, the DHCP server will
provide an IP address, net mask and a gateway address. We recommend
that you assign the Pilot II BMC a fixed IP address that is associated with
the same MAC address that is associated with the dedicated Pilot II LAN.
This MAC address can be found directly on the LAN which is dedicated to
the Pilot II BMC.
The Pilot II is an IPMI 2.0 compliant device and you can use any IPMI utility
to do the LAN configuration. Tyan has provided uh8.exe for DOS and uh8l
for Linux as well as uh8w for Microsoft Windows on our website, but these
utilities are not the only utilities that can or must be used with this hardware.
The Pilot II LAN port is used both for regular motherboard operation as well
as IPMI duties. There are two separate MAC addresses that are used for
the Pilot II LAN based on whether it will be used in an IPMI environment or
solely in a regular OS operating environment. The MAC address that is
7
http://www.tyan.com
found on a sticker attached to the NIC port directly is for a regular OS
environment. If you wish to dedicate the NIC solely to an IPMI
environment, then that MAC address label is found on the motherboard near
that NIC port. For motherboards that have dual ports, the dedicated MAC
address attached to the NCI port itself would be used for both. The Pilot II
can support either port based on LAN link status. If the default is port 0 and
port 0 link status goes down, then the Pilot II can switch automatically to port
1 as long as it properly attached without any additional user steps being
taken.

2.2
Login Web GUI
A User can use any Java or HTTPS enabled web browser to access the
Pilot II Web GUI. All you need to do is open the web browser and enter the
IP address of the Pilot II in the browsers URL section and you will be
redirect to the login page.
The default user name and password for this login page are as follows:
Field
User Name
Password
Default
root
superuser
Note: The default user name and password are in lower-case characters.
When you log in using the root user name and password, you will have full
administrative rights. Once you log in, we recommend that you change the
default password to your own unique password.

4: IPMI OS Drivers and Open Source Software
Under normal operating conditions, the Pilot II BMC works independently of
the OS and no drivers are required. However sometimes, a user may need
to run some IPMI software on a local host and not through the remote
console. In those cases, the IPMI driver is needed to support that IPMI
software.
The Pilot II firmware is fully compliant with the IPMI 2.0 specification. A user
can use standard IPMI drivers that come from numerous OS distributions.
4.1
Windows IPMI Driver
Pilot II supports the Intel reference driver that can be found at:
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm.
For Windows Server 2003 R2 (or newer), Microsoft also provides an
embedded IPMI driver.
4.2
Open IPMI Driver on Linux
Pilot II supports the Open IPMI driver in the Linux Kernel. Use the following
commands to load IPMI drivers.
“modprobe ipmi_devintf”
“modprobe ipmi_si”
If you use an older version Linux Kernel, you will need to replace the module
“ipmi_si” with “ipmi_kcs”
Note: The S7016 motherboard BIOS encodes IPMI Base I/O address at
0xCA2 in its DMI table IPMI entry. Any generic OS IPMI drivers should
have no compatibility issues with this base I/O address
4.3
IPMI Tool and Other Open Source Software
Pilot II natively supports open source software IPMITool. Other IPMI tools
such OpenIPMI,IPMI may also be used without issue.
Note: For IPMITool SOL session, you will need to enable in the BIOS
“Remote Serial Console Redirect”. The configuration is COM A, baud rate
38.4K, 8 bits, no parity, and Xon/Xoff.
