Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remotelocation. You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server,identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standardTelnet client application can access the SOL connection.Using the remote presence and blue-screen capture featuresThis topic provides an overview of the remote presence and blue-screen capturefeatures that is integrated into IMM2.About this taskThe remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions ofthe integrated management module II (IMM2). The remote presence featureprovides the following functions:v Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz,regardless of the system statev Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remoteclientv Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remoteclient, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that areavailable for use by the serverv Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server asa virtual driveThe blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMMrestarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. Asystem administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining thecause of the hang condition.Obtaining the IMM host nameThis topic provides instructions on how to obtain the host name for the IMM.About this taskIf you are logging on to the IMM for the first time after installation, the IMMdefaults to DHCP. If a DHCP server is not available, the IMM uses a static IPaddress of 192.168.70.125. The default IPv4 host name is “IMM-” (plus the last 12characters on the IMM MAC address). The default host name also comes on theIMM network access tag that comes attached to the power supply on the rear ofthe server. The IMM network access tag provides the default host name of theIMM and does not require you to start the server.Note: You can also obtain the IMM host name, MAC address, and IP address fromthe LCD display panel. See “LCD system information display panel” on page 28for more information.The IPv6 link-local address (LLA) is derived from the IMM default host name. TheIMM LLA is on the IMM network access tag is on the power supply on the rear ofthe server. To derive the link-local address, complete the following steps:1. Take the last 12 characters on the IMM MAC address (for example,5CF3FC5EAAD0).2. Separate the number into pairs of hexadecimal characters (for example,5C:F3:FC:5E:AA:D0).3. Separate the first six and last six hexadecimal characters.Chapter 3. Configuration information and instructions 139
