Using the remote presence and blue-screen capture features

This section contains information about the remote presence and blue screen capture features.

The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the IMM2. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:

  • Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system state.
  • Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client.
  • Mapping the CD or DVD 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.
  • Uploading a diskette image to the IMM2 memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive.

The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM2 restarts the server when the IMM2 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.
