Remote management

The server contains second-generation Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (iBMC), which
provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental
condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the iBMC lights LEDs to help you diagnose
the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. In addition, the iBMC also
provides a virtual presence as a standard feature for remote server management capabilities.
The iBMC provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Web browser
The remote management feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 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 iBMC memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the iBMC restarts the server
when the iBMC detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the
blue-screen capture feature to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
