The IMM also provides the following remote server management capabilities:
• Command-line interface (IPMI Shell) The command-line interface provides direct access to server
management functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue
commands to control the server power, view system information, and identify the server. You can also
save one or more commands as a text file and run the file as a script.
• Serial over LAN Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote location.
You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server, identify the server, and perform
other management functions. Any standard Telnet client application can access the SOL connection.

Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture

The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the integrated
management module (IMM). These integrated functions allow you to remotely mount or unmount drives or
images on the client system as well as accessing the Web interface.
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
• Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 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
• 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.

Obtaining the IP address for the Web interface access

To access the Web interface and use the remote presence feature, you need the IP address for the IMM. You
can obtain the IMM IP address through the Setup Utility. To locate the IP address, do the following:
1. Turn on the server.
Note: Approximately 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button
becomes active.
