Abstract: A baseboard management controller (BMC) of a system can receive a first serial output from a first server device and a second serial output from a second server device. The BMC can send the first serial output and the second serial output to a network interface controller (NIC) for transmission over a network to a computing device.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of servers in a server rack and a plurality of baseboard management controllers (BMCs), each associated with a respective server from the plurality of servers. The system further includes a rack management controller (RMC). A first BMC of a first server determines component types of hardware components in the first server, determines a quantity of each of the component types in the first server, determines a first weight information of the first server based on the component types and the quantity of each of the component types, and sends to the RMC the first weight information. The RMC determines a weight of other components in the server rack, and calculates a loaded rack weight of the server rack based on the first weight information and the weight of other components.
