• 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 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:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.0
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
Some of the features that are unique to the IMM are enhanced performance, higher-resolution remote
video, expanded security options, and Feature on Demand enablement for hardware and firmware
options.

• Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports
connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see "Configuring the
Ethernet controller" on page 106.
• Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores private and public secure keys.
It provides the hardware support for the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can
download the software to support the TCG specification, when the software is available. You can enable
TPM support through the Setup utility under the System Security menu option.
