Light Path Diagnostics Panel - Lenovo System x3530 M4 Product Manual

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. The following table lists the
remote management option.

In the default UEFI configuration, Ethernet port 2 is configured to be dedicated to remote access to the
IMM2. If preferred, you can change the UEFI setting so that remote access to the IMM2 is via Port 1 and
also accessible to the operating system. This setting is also useful if you do not have a dedicated
management network. The following table shows this setting and its effect on the Ethernet ports.
Note: The IMM2 network must operate 100 Mbps full duplex. The IMM2 network connection does not
support Gigabit Ethernet. In shared mode, the production Ethernet network on that port still operates at
Gigabit speeds.

Light path diagnostics panel

The light path diagnostics panel allows system engineers and administrators to easily and quickly
diagnose hardware problems on System x servers. If a failure occurs, a light is illuminated on the front
panel of the server (level 1 light path) to alert the systems administrator that there is a problem. The light
path diagnostics panel (light path level 2) will have a light next to the LED for the failed subsystem. This
light directs the engineer or administrator to the failed component, also shows an illuminated LED near it
(light path level 3) (for example, the DIMM error LED on the system board).
x3530 M4 offers two variants of light path diagnostics: basic and advanced. All standard x3530 M4
models include basic functionality that provides light path levels 1 and 3. Advanced functionality is
optional; it contains a pop-out panel that adds light path level 2.
