the IMM logs the uncorrectable error and informs POST. POST logically maps out the memory with the
uncorrectable error, and the server restarts with the remaining installed memory.

Systems Director
Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the way you manage physical
and virtual systems supports multiple operating systems and virtualization technologies in Lenovo and
non-Lenovo x86 platforms.
Through a single user interface, Systems Director provides consistent views for viewing managed systems,
determining how these systems relate to one other, and identifying their statuses, helping to correlate
technical resources with business needs. A set of common tasks that are included with Systems Director
provides many of the core capabilities that are required for basic management, which means instant
out-of-the-box business value. The common tasks include the following items:
• Discovery
• Inventory
• Configuration
• System health
