ENFLECTA / ZOTAC SEL Reference

IPMI System Event Log reference for ENFLECTA and ZOTAC GPU compute servers.

Platforms: ZRS-326V2, TIANMA BMC Version: 0.33

Overview

ENFLECTA and ZOTAC produce GPU compute servers targeting AI and mining workloads. These servers use custom BMC implementations with standard IPMI 2.0 support.

Note: ENFLECTA ZRS-326V2 and ZOTAC ZRS-326V2 are the same hardware platform.

Supported Models

Manufacturer Model CPU GPU Support
ENFLECTA ZRS-326V2 AMD Yes (8+ GPUs)
ENFLECTA TIANMA AMD Yes
ZOTAC ZRS-326V2 AMD Yes (8+ GPUs)

GPU Monitoring

These servers typically have 8+ GPUs. GPU health is best monitored via:

  1. SSH + nvidia-smi 
    nvidia-smi -q | grep -E "GPU|Temp|Power|Mem"
  2. IPMI Monitor SSH collection
    • Enable SSH log collection
    • Xid errors captured from dmesg

IPMItool Access

# Get sensor readings
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <bmc_ip> -U admin -P admin sdr list full

# Get SEL
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <bmc_ip> -U admin -P admin sel list

# Power status
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <bmc_ip> -U admin -P admin power status

# Power cycle
ipmitool -I lanplus -H <bmc_ip> -U admin -P admin power cycle

Troubleshooting

Limited BMC Features

These custom BMCs may have limited functionality compared to enterprise servers:

  1. No virtual KVM - Use SSH for remote access
  2. Basic web interface - IPMItool preferred
  3. Limited Redfish - Use IPMI protocol

GPU Monitoring Recommendations

Since BMC GPU monitoring is limited:

  1. Enable IPMI Monitor SSH integration
  2. Configure SSH credentials in Settings
  3. Enable GPU error detection
  4. Review Xid errors in SSH System Logs tab

High GPU Temperatures

  1. Verify all chassis fans operational
  2. Check GPU thermal paste and heatsinks
  3. Ensure proper airflow spacing
  4. Consider underclocking for thermal headroom
