Table 1. Comparison of the IMM features and combined BMC and Remote Supervisor Adapter II features in ThinkServer servers Description BMC with Remote Supervisor Adapter II (TS100, TS100, TS100x, RS110, and RD120) IMM(RD210, RD220, and later) Network connections BMC uses a network connection that is The IMM provides both BMC and Remote shared with a server and an IP address that is Supervisor Adapter II functionality through different from the Remote Supervisor Adapter the same network connection.

Update capabilities Each server requires a unique update for BMC and Remote Supervisor Adapter II. One IMM firmware image can be used for all of the applicable servers. BIOS and diagnostic tools can be updated in-band. The IMM firmware, server firmware, and Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) firmware can be updated both in-band and out-of-band. Configuration capabilities Configuration changes with the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) are available only in-band. The system requires separate configurations for BMC, Remote Supervisor Adapter II, and BIOS. The IMM can update itself, the server firmware, and the DSA firmware either locally or remotely without requiring the server to be restarted to initiate the update process. The ASU can run either in-band or out-of-band and can configure both the IMM and the server firmware. With the ASU, you can also modify the boot order, iSCSI, and VPD (machine type, serial number, UUID, and asset ID). The server firmware configuration settings are kept by the IMM. Therefore, you can make server firmware configuration changes while the server is turned off or while the operating system is running, and those changes are effective the next time the server is started. Operating-system screen capture The IMM configuration settings can be configured in-band or out-of-band through the following IMM user interfaces: v Web interface v Command-line interface v SNMP Screen captures are performed by the Remote Supervisor Adapter II when operating-system failures occur. The display of screen captures requires a Java™ applet. This feature is available only with IMM Premium. Screen captures are displayed directly by the Web browser without the need for a Java applet. 4 Integrated Management Module: User Guide
