Systems management
The RS140 models with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processors support Intel Active Management Technology
(AMT) which provides out-of-band, hardware-based advanced system control, monitoring, alerting, and
remote presence functions. The RS140 models with Intel Core-i3, Pentium, or Celeron processors support
Intel Standard Manageability (ISM), which is a subset of the AMT features.
Both AMT and ISM offer the following features:
Out-of-band management
System health and status monitoring
System event log and alerting
Hardware inventory
Boot device selection
Remote power control
Serial over LAN
IDE Redirect for mounting remote media
In addition, AMT supports KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) redirection.
Important: Health monitoring, event log, alerts, hardware inventory, boot device selection, and remote power
control features are accessible out-of-band with a web browser. Serial over LAN, IDE Redirect, and KVM
redirection features require third-party tools that are not supplied or supported by Lenovo.
Both AMT and ISM operate independently of the server and remain operational even if the server is powered
off. Out-of-band management is performed through the Ethernet port 0, which is a shared port for data and
management.
AMT and ASM support the following management protocols:
DASH 1.1
WS-MAN
SNMP Platform Event Traps (PET)
AMT and ASM support the following management user interfaces:
Web browser
A third-party platform management software, including but not limited to the following tools:
RealVNC Viewer Plus (for remote KVM)
Intel Platform Solution Manager (for comprehensive support of AMT features)
