Remote management
The server contains an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2), which interfaces with the advanced management
module in the chassis. The combination of these two components 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.
Remote server management is provided 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

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
Uploading a diskette image to the IMM2 memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
