v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 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.
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
Service processor status and configuration
Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
Hard disk drive health
RAID controller configuration
Event logs for service processors
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all
collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to
Lenovo 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, see the Hardware
Maintenance Manual.
