identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standard Telnet
client application can access the SOL connection.

Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture

The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of
the integrated management module (IMM). These integrated functions allow you to
remotely mount or unmount drives or images on the client system as well as
accessing the Web interface.

The remote presence feature provides the following functions:

v

Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz,
regardless of the system state

v

Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote
client

v

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

v

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 to assist in determining the
cause of the hang condition.

Obtaining the IP address for the Web interface access

To access the Web interface and use the remote presence feature, you need the IP
address for the IMM. You can obtain the IMM IP address through the Setup Utility.
To locate the IP address, do the following:

1. Turn on the server.

Note: Approximately 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the
power-control button becomes active.

2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set both a

power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the
administrator password to access the full Setup Utility menu.

3. From the Setup Utility main menu, select System Settings.

4. On the next screen, select Integrated Management Module.

5. On the next screen, select Network Configuration.

6. Find the IP address and write it down.

7. Exit from the Setup Utility.

Logging on to the Web interface

To log on to the Web interface to use the remote presence functions, complete the
following steps:

1. Open a Web browser and in the address or URL field, type the IP address or

host name of the IMM to which you want to connect.

Note: The IMM defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP host is not available, the IMM
assigns a static IP address of 192.168.70.125.
