In at least some embodiments, a computer system may comprise a CPU and a system memory coupled to the CPU. The computer system may further comprise a management device coupled to the CPU and the system memory. The management device is operable to permit remote control of the computer system by other computer systems. The management device is configured to receive a signal when the computer system malfunctions and, in response to receiving the signal, perform a data dump of at least some of the data in the system memory without involvement of the CPU.
