– 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
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server
when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the
blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
• ®IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program
Use this program as an alternative to the UEFI Setup Utility for modifying UEFI settings. Use the ASU
program online or out of band to modify UEFI settings from the command line without the need to restart
the server to access the UEFI Setup Utility program.
• Preboot diagnostics programs
The preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes
system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostics programs collect the following
information about the server:
– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– EasyLED diagnostics status
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for RAID controllers and service processors
The diagnostics programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The
information is collected into a file that you can send to service and support. Additionally, you can view the
information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media
and view the log from a Web browser.
For additional information about preboot diagnostics programs, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.
• EasyStartup DVD
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program guides you through the configuration of the hardware, the RAID
controller, and the installation of the operating system and device drivers.
• EasyManage DVD
The EasyManage program helps you manage and administer your servers and clients through remote
problem notification as well as monitoring and alerting.
• Integrated network support
The server comes with two integrated Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support connection
to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network.
• Large data-storage and hot-swap capability
The server supports up to eight or twelve 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays
(depending on the model and optional devices installed). With the hot-swap feature, you can add,
remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
• EasyLED diagnostics
EasyLED diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information, see "EasyLED
diagnostics panel" on page 41
• Memory mirroring
Memory mirroring improves the availability of memory by writing information to the main memory and
redundant locations in a mirrored pair of DIMMs.
