Using The Integrated Management Module - Huawei Tecal RH5485 Installation And User Manual

3 Configuring the server
1. After you have completed the setup process, the operating-system installation program
starts. (You will need your operating-system CD to complete the installation.)
2. The ServerGuide program stores information about the server model, service processor,
hard disk drive controllers, and network adapters. Then, the program checks the CD for newer
device drivers. This information is stored and then passed to the operating-system installation
program.
3. The ServerGuide program presents operating-system partition options that are based on
your operating-system selection and the installed hard disk drives.
4. The ServerGuide program prompts you to insert your operating-system CD and restart the
server. At this point, the installation program for the operating system takes control to
complete the installation.
Installing your operating system without using ServerGuide
If you have already configured the server hardware and you are not using the ServerGuide
program to install your operating system, download the latest operating-system installation
instructions from the HUAWEI Web site.

3.5 Using the integrated management module

The integrated management module (IMM) is a second generation of the functions that were
formerly provided by the baseboard management controller hardware. It combines service
processor functions, video controller, and remote presence function in a single chip.
The IMM supports the following basic systems-management features:

Active Energy Manager.
Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).
Auto Boot Failure Recovery.
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 restart the server after
a timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, the IMM allows the administrator to
generate an NMI by pressing a nonmaskable interrupt button on the information panel
for an operating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by Intelligent Peripheral
Management Interface (IPMI).
Boot sequence manipulation.
Command-line interface.
Configuration save and restore.
DIMM error assistance. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) disables a
failing DIMM that is detected during POST, and the IMM lights the associated
system-error LED and the failing DIMM error LED.
Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan failure, and
power supply failure.
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support.
Invalid system configuration (CNFG) LED support.
