Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).
Auto Boot Failure Recovery.
Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not complete or the operating system
hangs and the operating-system watchdog timer times out. The IMM might be
configured to watch for the operating-system watchdog timer and restart the server after
a timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, the IMM allows the administrator to
generate an NMI by pressing a nonmaskable interrupt button on the information panel
for an operating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by Intelligent Peripheral
management Interface (IPMI).
Boot sequence anipulation.
Command-line interface.
Configuration save and restore.
DIMM error assistance. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) disables a
failing DIMM that is detected during POST, and the IMM lights the associated
system-error LED and the failing DIMM error LED.
Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan failure, and
power supply failure.
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and Intelligent
Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support.
Invalid system configuration (CNFG) LED support.
Light path diagnostics LEDs to report errors that occur with fans, power supplies,
microprocessor, hard disk drives, and system errors.
Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) detection and reporting.
Operating-system failure blue screen capture.
PCI configuration data.
PECI 2 support.
Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset, schedule
power control).
Query power-supply input power.
ROM-based IMM firmware flash updates.
Serial over LAN (SOL).
Serial port redirection over Telnet or SSH.
System-event log.
When one of the two microprocessors reports an internal error, the server disables the
defective microprocessor and restarts with the one good microprocessor.
The IMM also provides the following remote server management capabilities through the
OSA SMBridge 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
Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote location.
You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server, identify the
