• A virtual media key, which enables remote presence support (remote video, remote keyboard/mouse,
and remote storage).
• 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.
• Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) detection and reporting.
• 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.
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and Intelligent Platform Management
Bus (IPMB) support.
• Serial port redirection over telnet or ssh.
• Serial over LAN (SOL).
• Active Energy Manager.
• Query power-supply input power.
• PECI 2 support.
• Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset, schedule power control).
• Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).
• Operating-system failure blue screen capture.
• Command-line interface.
• Configuration save and restore.
• PCI configuration data.
• Boot sequence manipulation.
The IMM also provides the following remote server management capabilities through the OSA SMBridge
management utility program:
• Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)The command-line interface provides direct access to server
management functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue
commands to control the server power, view system information, and identify the server. You can also
save one or more commands as a text file and run the file as a script.
• Serial over LANEstablish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote location.
You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server, 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). When the optional Virtual Media Key is installed in the server, it activates the
remote presence functions. The virtual media key is required to enable the integrated remote presence and
blue-screen capture features. Without the virtual media key, you will not be able to access the network
remotely to mount or unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you can still access the
Web interface without the key.
After the virtual media key is installed in the server, it is authenticated to determine whether it is valid. If
the key is not valid, you receive a message from the Web interface (when you attempt to start the remote
presence feature) indicating that the hardware key is required to use the remote presence feature.
