Starting the backup server firmware
Use this information to start the backup server firmware.
The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is a secondary copy of the
server firmware that you update only during the process of updating the server firmware. If the primary copy
of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the UEFI Boot_backup
jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3).
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the primary copy is
restored, turn off the server; then, move the UEFI Boot_backup jumper back to the primary position (pins 1
and 2).

Using the integrated management module II
The integrated management module II (IMM2) 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 (ABR).
• Automatic microprocessor disable on failure and restart in a two-microprocessor configuration when one
microprocessor signals an internal error. When one of the microprocessors fail, the server will disable the
failing microprocessor and restart with the other microprocessor.
• A virtual media key, which enables remote presence support (remote video, remote keyboard/mouse,
and remote storage).
• 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, power supply failure,
and power backplane failure.
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and Intelligent Platform Management
Bus (IPMB) support.
• Invalid system configuration (CNFG) LED support.
