Systems management
The server contains Integrated Management Module II (IMM2), which provides advanced service-
processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold
or if a system component fails, the IMM2 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error
in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. The IMM2 also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote server management capabilities.
The IMM2 provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
Web browser
The remote presence provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per
pixel colors, regardless of the system state
Remotely accessing the server by 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
Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server
when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-
screen capture feature to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
