IMM Premium is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen
capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz,
regardless of the system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote
client
– Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a
remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that
are available for use by the server
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server
as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the
IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang
condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in
determining the cause of the hang condition.

settings. Use the ASU program online or out of band to modify UEFI settings

v Preboot diagnostics programs
The preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. It
collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems.
The diagnostics programs collect the following information about the server:
– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– EasyLED diagnostics status
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for RAID controllers and service processors
The diagnostics programs create a merged log that includes events from all
collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to service
and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a
generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media and
view the log from a Web browser.
For additional information about preboot diagnostics programs, see the Hardware
Maintenance Manual.
