system board.
The Setup utility is part of the UEFI firmware. Use it to perform configuration
tasks such as changing interrupt request (IRQ) settings, changing the
startup-device sequence, setting the date and time, and setting passwords. For
information about using this program, see "Using the Setup utility" on page 127.
The Boot Manager is part of the UEFI firmware. Use it to override the startup
sequence that is set in the Setup utility and temporarily assign a device to be
first in the startup sequence. For more information about using this program, see
"Using the Boot Manager" on page 134.
The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools
that are designed for the server. Use this CD during the installation of the server
to configure basic hardware features, such as an integrated SAS/SATA controller
with RAID capabilities, and to simplify the installation of your operating system.
For information about using this CD, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and
Installation CD" on page 125.
Use the integrated management module II (IMM2) for configuration, to update
the firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and
to remotely manage a network. For information about using the IMM, see
"Using the integrated management module" on page 135 and the Integrated
Management Module II User's Guide at http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/
portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5089484..
An optional USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software
is available for purchase. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. The USB
embedded hypervisor flash device can be installed in USB connectors 3 and 4 on
the system board. For more information about using the embedded hypervisor,
see "Using the embedded hypervisor" on page 138.
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of
the integrated management module (IMM2). The remote presence feature
provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz,
regardless of the system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote
client
– 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
