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

(when

IMM

Premium

is

installed)

remote

presence

function

in

a

single

chip.

The

IMM

supports

the

following

basic

systems-management

features:

v

Environmental

monitor

with

fan

speed

control

for

temperature,

voltages,

fan

failure,

and

power

supply

failure.

v

EasyLED

diagnostics

LEDs

indicators

to

report

errors

that

occur

with

fans,

power

supplies,

microprocessor,

hard

disk

drives,

and

system

errors.

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

System

event

log

(SEL).

v

ROM-based

IMM

firmware

flash

updates.

v

Auto

Boot

Failure

Recovery

(ABR).

v

IMM

Premium,

which

enables

remote

presence

support

(remote

video,

remote

keyboard/mouse,

and

remote

storage).

v

Automatic

microprocessor

disable

on

failure

and

restart

in

a

two-microprocessor

configuration

when

one

microprocessor

signals

an

internal

error.

When

one

of

the

microprocessors

fail,

the

server

will

disable

the

failing

microprocessor

and

restart

with

the

other

microprocessor.

v

Nonmaskable

interrupt

(NMI)

detection

and

reporting.

v

Automatic

Server

Restart

(ASR)

when

POST

is

not

complete

or

the

operating

system

hangs

and

the

operating

system

watchdog

timer

times-out.

The

IMM

might

be

configured

to

watch

for

the

operating

system

watchdog

timer

and

reboot

the

system

after

a

timeout,

if

the

ASR

feature

is

enabled.

Otherwise,

the

IMM

allows

the

administrator

to

generate

a

nonmaskable

interrupt

(NMI)

by

pressing

an

NMI

button

on

the

system

board

for

an

operating-system

memory

dump.

ASR

is

supported

by

IPMI.

v

Intelligent

Platform

Management

Interface

(IPMI)

Specification

V2.0

and

Intelligent

Platform

Management

Bus

(IPMB)

support.

v

Invalid

system

configuration

(CNFG)

LED

support.

v

Serial

port

redirection

over

telnet

or

ssh.

v

Serial

over

LAN

(SOL).

v

Active

Energy

Manager.

v

Query

input

power.

v

PECI

2

support.

v

Power/reset

control

(power-on,

hard

and

soft

shutdown,

hard

and

soft

reset,

schedule

power

control).

v

Alerts

(in-band

and

out-of-band

alerting,

PET

traps

-

IPMI

style,

SNMP,

e-mail).

v

Operating-system

screen

capture.

v

Command-line

interface.

v
