From the User Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password and an administrator password. The User Security choice is on the full Setup utility menu only. If you set only a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the system startup and to have access to the full Setup utility menu. An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Setup utility menu. If you set only an administrator password, you do not have to type a password to complete the system startup, but you must type the administrator password to access the Setup utility menu. If you set a power-on password for a user and an administrator password for a system administrator, you can type either password to complete the system startup. A system administrator who types the administrator password has access to the full Setup utility menu; the system administrator can give the user authority to set, change, and delete the power-on password. A user who types the power-on password has access to only the limited Setup utility menu; the user can set, change, and delete the power-on password, if the system administrator has given the user that authority.

Using the integrated management module
The integrated management module (IMM) is a second generation of the functions that were formerly provided by the baseboard management controller hardware. It combines service processor functions, video controller, and (when an optional virtual media key is installed) remote presence function in a single chip. The IMM supports the following basic systems-management features: v Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan failure, and power supply failure. v Diagnostic LEDs to report errors that occur with power supplies, microprocessor, hard disk drives, and system errors. v DIMM error assistance. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) disables a failing DIMM that is detected during POST, and the IMM lights the associated system error LED and the failing DIMM error LED. v System-event log. v ROM-based IMM firmware flash updates. v Auto Boot Failure Recovery. v A virtual media key, which enables full systems-management support (remote video, remote keyboard/mouse, and remote storage). v When one of the two microprocessors reports an internal error, the server disables the defective microprocessor and restarts with the one good microprocessor. v NMI detection and reporting. v SMI handling. v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when POST is not complete or the operating system hangs and the OS watchdog timer times out. The IMM might be configured to watch for the OS watchdog timer and reboot the system after a timeout, if the ASR feature is enabled. Otherwise, the IMM allows the administrator to generate an NMI by pressing an NMI button on the system board for an operating-system memory dump. ASR is supported by IPMI. v Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification V2.0 and Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) support. v Invalid system configuration (CNFG) LED support. v Serial redirect. v Serial over LAN (SOL). v Active Energy Manager. v Query power-supply input power. v PECI 2 support. v Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset, schedule power control). v Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail). v Operating-system failure blue screen capture. v Command-line interface. v Configuration save and restore. v PCI configuration data. v Boot sequence manipulation. The IMM also provides the following remote server management capabilities through the OSA SMBridge management utility program:
v Command-line interface (IPMI Shell) The command-line interface provides direct access to server management functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue commands to control the server power, view system information, and identify the server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and run the file as a script. v Serial over LAN Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote location. You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server, identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standard Telnet client application can access the SOL connection.

Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the integrated management module (IMM). When the optional IBM Virtual Media Key is installed in the server, it activates full systems-management functions. The virtual media key is required to enable the integrated remote presence and blue-screen capture features. Without the virtual media key, you cannot remotely mount or unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you still can access the Web interface without the key. After the virtual media key is installed in the server, it is authenticated to determine whether it is valid. If the key is not valid, you receive a message from the Web interface (when you attempt to start the remote presence feature) indicating that the hardware key is required to use the remote presence feature. The virtual media key has an LED. When this LED is lit and green, it indicates that the key is installed and functioning correctly. The remote presence feature provides the following functions: v Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system state v Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client v 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 v 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.
Enabling the remote presence feature
To enable the remote presence feature, complete the following steps: 1. Install the virtual media key into the dedicated slot on the system board (see Installing an IBM virtual media key on page 51). 2. Turn on the server.
Note: Approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active.
Obtaining the IP address for the Web interface access
To access the Web interface and use the remote presence feature, you need the IP address for the IMM. You can obtain the IMM IP address through the Setup utility. To locate the IP address, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the server. Note: Approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. (This prompt is displayed on the screen for only a few seconds. You must press F1 quickly.) If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Setup utility menu. From the Setup utility main menu, select System Settings. On the next screen, select Integrated Management Module. On the next screen, select Network Configuration.

To create a mirrored pair of SCSI hard disk drives, complete the following steps: 1. From the list of adapters, select the controller (channel) for the drives that you want to mirror. 2. Select Mirroring Properties. 3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the first drive in the pair; then, press the Minus key to change the mirroring value to Primary.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the second drive in the pair; then, press the Minus key to change the mirroring value to Secondary. 5. To establish a third drive that will take over the function of either mirrored drive in the event of a failure, use the arrow keys to highlight the drive that you want to use for that purpose; then, press the Minus key to change the mirroring value to Hot Spare.
Configuring a ServeRAID controller
Use the information in this section to configure an optional ServeRAID controller. If you need to configure an optional LSI RAID controller, see Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program on page 70. Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code. To update the firmware and UEFI code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the controller. Note: To update the firmware and UEFI code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you might have to use an external USB CD-RW/DVD drive such as the IBM and Lenovo part number 73P4515 or 73P4516. See Firmware updates for additional instructions about using an external USB CD-RW/DVD drive. For more information about the ServeRAID controller, go to http://www304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.www/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR4JTS2T&brandind=5000008 or complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. 2. Under Product support, click Hardware upgrades. 3. Under Product family, click RAID. 4. Under Type, click on the type of RAID controller that is installed in your server.

Firmware updates

Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code. The firmware for the server is periodically updated and is available for download from the Web. To check for the latest level of firmware, such as BIOS code, vital product data (VPD) code, device drivers, and service processor firmware complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. 2. Under Product support, click System x. 3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.
