Systems management
The server contains IMM2.1, which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an
alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the
IMM2.1 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM2.1 also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server
management capabilities.
The IMM provides remote server management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
Web browser
The optional Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade is required for enabling remote presence
and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per
pixel colors, regardless of the system state
Remotely accessing the server by using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping
ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server
when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-
screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the
remote management option.

All standard models include basic light path diagnostics, which include system LEDs on the front of the
server (see the following figure) and LEDs near the monitored components (for example, the DIMM error
LED on the system board). The server also offers an optional upgrade to supply another array of light path
diagnostic LEDs on the front of the chassis.
