• Operating-system failure blue screen capture.
• PCI configuration data.
• Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset, schedule power control).
• Query power-supply input power.
• ROM-based IMM2 firmware flash updates.
• Serial over LAN (SOL).
• Serial port redirection over telnet or ssh.
• SMI handling
• System event log (SEL) - user readable event log.
The IMM2 also provides the following remote server management capabilities through the ipmitool, a
management utility program:
•
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 and blue-screen capture features
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the Integrated
Management Module II (IMM2).
The remote presence 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 IMM2 memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM2 restarts the
server when the IMM2 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 IMM2 host name
Use this information to obtain the IMM2 host name.
If you are logging on to the IMM2 for the first time after installation, the IMM2 defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP
server is not available, the IMM2 uses a static IP address of 192.168.70.125. The default IPv4 host name is
“IMM-” (plus the last 12 characters on the IMM2 MAC address). The default host name also comes on the
