Integrated Management Module:
The Integrated Management module (IMM) combines service
processor functions, video controller, and (when an optional virtual media key is installed) remote
presence function in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring,
and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails,
the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM 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
For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module” on page 113 .

UEFI-compliant server firmware:
IBM System x Server Firmware (server firmware) offers several
features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance; Active Energy Manager
technology; enhanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities; and basic input/output
system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the BIOS and defines a standard interface between
the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices. UEFI-compliant System x servers are
capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based
adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note:
The server does not support DOS (Disk Operating System).

IBM Dynamic System Analysis Preboot diagnostics programs:
The Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
Preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes system
information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostic programs collect the following
information about the server:
– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– Light path diagnostics status
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The information
is collected into a file that you can send to IBM service and support. Additionally, you can view the
information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media
and view the log from a Web browser.

Multi-core processing:
The server supports up to two Intel Xeon™ multi-core microprocessors. The
server comes with only one microprocessor installed.

IBM Systems Director:
IBM Systems Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can
use to centrally manage System x and xSeries servers. For more information, see the IBM Systems
Director Information Center at
