IBM System x3630 M4 30

The optional IBM Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade 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 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per



pixel, 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. The following table lists the

remote management option.

In the default UEFI configuration, Ethernet port 2 is configured to be dedicated to remote access to the

IMM2. If preferred, you can change the UEFI setting so that remote access to the IMM2 is via Port 1 and

also accessible to the operating system. This Shared setting is also useful if you do not have a dedicated

management network -- management and production networks are combined into a single network. The

following table shows this setting and its effect on the Ethernet ports.

Light path diagnostics panel

The light path diagnostics panel allows system engineers and administrators to easily and quickly

diagnose hardware problems on the IBM System x servers. If a failure occurs, a light is illuminated on the

front panel of the server (level 1 light path) to alert the systems administrator that there is a problem. The

pop-out light path diagnostics panel (light path level 2) has a light against the failed subsystem. This light

directs the engineer or administrator directly to the failed component, which also has an illuminated LED

near it (light path level 3), for example, the DIMM error LED on the system board.

x3630 M4 offers two variants of light path diagnostics: basic and advanced. All standard x3630 M4

models include basic functionality that provides light path levels 1 and 3. Advanced functionality is

optional, and contains a pop-out panel that adds light path level 2. Storage-rich x3630 M4 servers

(servers with 12 or 14 drive bays) only support basic light path.
