Itcombines service processor functions, video controller, and remote presencefunction in a single chip.The IMM supports the following basic systems-management features:v Active Energy Manager.v Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).v Auto Boot Failure Recovery.v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not complete or the operatingsystem hangs and the operating-system watchdog timer times out. The IMMmight be configured to watch for the operating-system watchdog timer and restartthe server after a timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, the IMMallows the administrator to generate an NMI by pressing a nonmaskable interruptbutton on the information panel for an operating-system memory dump. ASR issupported by Intelligent Peripheral Management Interface (IPMI).v Boot sequence manipulation.v Command-line interface.v Configuration save and restore.v DIMM error assistance. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)disables a failing DIMM that is detected during POST, and the IMM lights theassociated system-error LED and the failing DIMM error LED.v Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fanfailure, and power supply failure.v Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 andIntelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support.v Invalid system configuration (CNFG) LED support.v Light path diagnostics LEDs to report errors that occur with fans, power supplies,microprocessor, hard disk drives, and system errors.v Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) detection and reporting.v Operating-system failure blue screen capture.v PCI configuration data.v PECI 2 support.v Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset,schedule power control).v Query power-supply input power.v ROM-based IMM firmware flash updates.v Serial over LAN (SOL).v Serial port redirection over Telnet or SSH.v System-event log.Chapter 3.
