Remote management
The server contains an IBM Integrated Management Module II (IMM2), which is based on the Renesas
SH7757 chip, and interfaces with the advanced management module in the BladeCenter chassis. The
combination of these provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If
an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, LEDs on the system
board are lit to help you diagnose the problem, the error is recorded in the event log, and you are alerted
to the problem. A virtual presence capability comes standard for remote server management through the
Advanced Management Module (AMM) in the BladeCenter chassis.
Remote server management is provided through industry-standard interfaces:
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH)
Web browser
The server also supports virtual media and remote control features, which provide the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per
pixel, regardless of the system state
Remotely accessing the server 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
Capturing blue-screen errors
