Step 5. Go back and check the Power Policy setting to verify that it is set to Restore (the default).
Using the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)
Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) is a second generation of the functions that were formerly
provided by the baseboard management controller hardware. It combines service processor functions, video
controller, and remote presence function in a single chip.
IMM2 supports the following basic system-management features:
• Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail)
• Auto Boot Failure Recovery (ABR)
• Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not completed or the operating system hangs and the
operating system watchdog timer times out
• A virtual media key, which enables remote presence support (remote video, remote keyboard/mouse, and
remote storage)
• Boot sequence manipulation
• Command-line interface
• Configurations save and restore
• DIMM error assistance. The UEFI disables a failing DIMM that is detected during POST, and the IMM2
lights the associated system error LED
• Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan failure, power supply failure,
and power backplane failure
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and Intelligent Platform Management
Bus (IPMB) support
• Invalid system configuration (CONFIG) LED support
• Local firmware code flash update
• Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) detection and reporting
• Operating-system failure blue screen capture
• PCI configuration data
• Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset, schedule power control)
• Query power-supply input power
• ROM-based IMM2 firmware flash updates
• Serial over LAN (SOL)
• Serial port redirection over telnet or ssh protocols
• SMI handling
• System event log (SEL) - user readable event log
The IMM2 also provides the following remote server management capabilities through the ipmitool, a
management utility program:
• Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)
The command-line interface provides direct access to server management functions through the IPMI
2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue commands to control the server power, view
system information, and identify the server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and
run the file as a script.
• Serial over LAN
