Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
This topic provides instructions for using the remote presence capability and
blue-screen capture.
About this task
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of
the integrated management module (IMM).
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
v Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 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.
