This little IBM Virtual Media Key opens up for features: 

An optional Virtual Media Key provides additional systems management capabilities, including Web-based out-of-band control; virtual floppy and optical drive support; Windows “blue screen” error capture; LDAP and SSL support; and remote redirection of PCI video, text, keyboard and mouse (cKVM). And it does all this without consuming a valuable adapter slot.

Integrated Management Module

In older System x servers, the Integrated Management Module (IMM) consolidates the service processor functionality, Super I/O, video controller, and remote presence capabilities in a single chip on the server system board. The IMM consolidates service processor functionality previously provided in the BMC and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II in System x and BladeCenter products.

Lenovo offers two levels of IMM, Standard and Premium. If the server has IMM Standard functionality, it can be upgraded to IMM Premium by purchasing and installing a Virtual Media Key (either part number 46C7526 or 46C7527, depending on the server) on the server system board. This key is a physical component (Figure 1). However, no new firmware is required. IMM Premium provides Remote Presence and Virtual Media capabilities. Figure 1 shows where the Virtual Media Key is installed in one of the supported servers (x3620 M3).
