operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to IBM
service (when requested by service) or view the information as a text file or
HTML file.
Note: Use the latest available version of DSA to make sure you are using the
most recent configuration data. For documentation and download information
for DSA, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/.

– DSA Preboot
DSA Preboot diagnostic program is stored in the integrated USB memory on
the server. DSA Preboot collects and analyzes system information to aid in
diagnosing server problems, as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of
the major components of the server. DSA Preboot collects the following
information about the server:
- Drive health information
- Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
- Installed hardware, including PCI and USB information
- Light path diagnostics status
- Microprocessor, input/out hub, and UEFI error logs
- Network interfaces and settings
- RAID controller configuration
- Scalability link status
- Service processor (integrated management module) status and
configuration
- System configuration
- Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
DSA Preboot also provides diagnostics for the following system components
(when they are installed):
1. Broadcom network adapter
2. IMM 12C bus
3. Lightpath diagnostics panel
4. Memory modules
5. Microprocessors
6. Optical devices (CD or DVD)
7. SAS or SATA drives
8. Tape drives (SCSI)
See "Running the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs" on page 81 for more
information on running the DSA Preboot program on the server.
The Integrated Management Module (IMM) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features
in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control,
monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server
management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
