Features and technologies
The server uses the following features and technologies:
v Integrated Management Module
The Integrated Management Module (IMM) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and (when an optional virtual media key is installed)
remote presence function in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental
condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights
LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and
alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence
capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote
server management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module” on
page 155.
v UEFI-compliant server firmware
The UEFI-compliant server firmware offers several features, including Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) version 2.1 compliance, enhanced
reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities, and basic input/output
system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the legacy BIOS. UEFI
defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware
and external devices, and offers capabilities that far exceeds that of the legacy
BIOS.
The server design combines the UEFI capabilities and features with legacy BIOS
compatibility. The server is capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems,
BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as
UEFI-compliant adapters.
