– The Integrated Management Module (IMM) combines service processor functions. 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. The IMM provides remote server management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
– Web browser
