• Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)
The Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) combines service processor functions, video controller,
and remote presence and blue-screen capture features in a single chip. The IMM2 provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records
the error in the IMM2 event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2 also provides a virtual
presence capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM2 provides remote server
management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Protocol (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
For more information about the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2), see "Using the Integrated
Management Module II (IMM2)" on page 96, Appendix A "Integrated Management Module II
(IMM2) error messages" on page 283, and the Integrated Management Module II User's Guide at

• Dynamic System Analysis
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) are available for diagnosing problems, DSA Portable
and DSA Preboot:
– DSA Portable
DSA Portable collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. DSA
Portable runs on the server operating system and collects the following information about the server:
– Drive health information
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
– IMM2 configuration information
– IMM2 environmental information
– Installed hardware, including PCI and USB information
– Installed applications and hot fixes
– Kernel modules
– Light path diagnostics status
– Microprocessor, input/out hub, and UEFI error logs
– Network interfaces and settings
– Option card driver and firmware information
– RAID controller configuration
– Service processor (Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)) status and configuration
– System configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
DSA Portable creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as
the IPMI event log), the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) event log (as the ASM event log),
and the operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to Lenovo Support (when
requested by Lenovo Support) 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
