Abstract
A method to communicate provide server management information that emulates a floppy disk drive (FDD) with a management processor. This management processor operably couples to a multi-function integrated circuit having a FDD controller. Monitoring hardware and sensors operably couple to the management processor and write server management information to data files within the emulated FDD. Programs that utilize the server management information may then read this server management information.
