110 IBM eX5 Implementation Guide3.13.3 Integrated Management Module (IMM)The System x3850 X5 includes an IMM that provides industry-standard Intelligent PlatformManagement Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant systems management. You access the IMMthrough software that is compatible with IPMI 2.0 (xCAT, for example). You implement the IMMusing industry-leading firmware from OSA and applications in conjunction with the IntegratedManagement Module.The IMM delivers advanced control and monitoring features to manage your IBM Systemx3850 X5 server at virtually any time, from virtually anywhere. IMM enables easy consoleredirection with text and graphics, and keyboard and mouse support (operating system mustsupport USB) over the system management LAN connections.With video compression now built into the adapter hardware, it is designed to allow greaterpanel sizes and refresh rates that are becoming standard in the marketplace. This featureallows the user to display server activities from power-on to full operation remotely, withremote user interaction at virtually any time.IMM monitors the following components: System voltages System temperatures Fan speed control Fan tachometer monitor Good Power signal monitor System ID and planar version detection System power and reset control Non-maskable interrupt (NMI) detection (system interrupts) SMI detection and generation (system interrupts) Serial port text console redirection System LED control (power, HDD, activity, alerts, and heartbeat)IMM provides these features: An embedded web server, which gives you remote control from any standard webbrowser. No additional software is required on the remote administrator’s workstation. A command-line interface (CLI), which the administrator can use from a Telnet session. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Built-in LAN and serial connectivity that support virtually any network infrastructure. Multiple alerting functions to warn systems administrators of potential problems throughemail, IPMI platform event traps (PETs), and Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP).3.13.4 UEFIThe x3850 X5 uses an integrated Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)next-generation BIOS.UEFI includes the following capabilities: Human-readable event logs; no more beep codes Complete setup solution by allowing adapter configuration function to be moved to UEFI Complete out-of-band coverage by Advanced Settings Utility to simplify remote setup
