configuration when one microprocessor signals an internal error
v NMI detection and reporting
v SMI handling
v Automatic Server Restart (ASR) when (1) POST is not complete or (2) the OS
hangs and the OS Watchdog Timer times-out. The IMM might be configured to
watch for OS Watchdog Timer and reboot the system after time-out, if the ASR
feature is enabled. Otherwise, IMM allows the administrator to generate an NMI
by pressing an NMI button on the system board for OS memory dump. ASR is
supported by IPMI.

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:
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.
