The UpdateXpress System Pack InstallerThe UpdateXpress System Pack Installer detects supported and installed devicedrivers and firmware in the server and installs available updates.For additional information and to download the UpdateXpress System PackInstaller, go to the ToolsCenter for System x and BladeCenter athttp://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/ and click UpdateXpressSystem Pack Installer.Using the integrated management moduleThe integrated management module (IMM) is a second generation of the functionsthat were formerly provided by the baseboard management controller hardware. 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 (ABR).v Automatic microprocessor disable on failure and restart in a two-microprocessorconfiguration when one microprocessor signals an internal error. When one ofthe microprocessors fail, the server will disable the failing microprocessor andrestart with the other microprocessor.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 andreboot the system after a timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, theIMM allows the administrator to generate a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) bypressing an NMI button on the light path diagnostics panel for anoperating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by IPMI.v A virtual media key, which enables remote presence support (remote video,remote keyboard/mouse, and remote storage).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, power supply failure, and power backplane failure.v Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 andIntelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support.v Invalid system configuration (CONFIG) LED support.v Light path diagnostics LEDs indicators to report errors that occur with fans,power supplies, microprocessor, hard disk drives, and system errors.v Local firmware code flash updatev Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) detection and reporting.v Operating-system failure blue screen capture.v PCI configuration data.114 IBM System x3550 M4 Type 7914: Installation and Service Guide
