Integrated Management Module

Use Integrated Management Module, which is on the back panel of each M4 and M5 appliance, for remote management of the hardware and operating systems, independent of the status of the managed server. For information about the Lenovo M6 appliance management controller for systems-management functions, see Management controller.

You can configure Integrated Management Module to share an Ethernet port with the IBM QRadar product management interface. However, to reduce the risk of losing the connection when the appliance is restarted, configure Integrated Management Module in dedicated mode.

To configure Integrated Management Module, you must access the system BIOS settings by pressing F1 when the IBM splash screen is displayed. For more information about configuring Integrated Management Module, see Integrated Management Module User's Guide on the CD that is shipped with your appliance.
