4. The ServerGuide program prompts you to insert your operating-system CD and
restart the server. At this point, the installation program for the operating system
takes control to complete the installation.
Installing your operating system without using ServerGuide
If you have already configured the server hardware and you are not using the
ServerGuide program to install your operating system, complete the following steps
to download the latest operating-system installation instructions from the IBM Web
site.
Note:
Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.

Using the integrated management module
The integrated management module (IMM) 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.
The IMM supports the following basic systems-management features:
v
Active Energy Manager.
v
Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).
v
Auto Boot Failure Recovery.
v
Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not complete or the operating
system hangs and the OS watchdog timer times out. The IMM might be
configured to watch for the OS watchdog timer and restart the server after a
timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, the system administrator can
generate an NMI by pressing an NMI button on the information panel for an
operating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by IPMI.
v
Boot sequence manipulation.
v
Command-line interface.
v
Configuration save and restore.
v
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.
v
Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan
failure, and power supply failure.
v
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support.
v
Invalid system configuration (CNFG) LED support.
v
Light path diagnostics LEDs to report errors that occur with fans, power supplies,
microprocessor, hard disk drives, and system errors.
v
NMI detection and reporting.
