For detailed information on the various power management options, see "Power Management" in the CMC User's Guide. Configuring Power Budget and Redundancy The CMC's power management service optimizes power consumption for the entire chassis (the chassis, servers, I/O modules, iKVM, CMC, and PSUs) and re-allocates power to different modules based on the demand.

Updating Firmware in a Redundant CMC Configuration NOTE: In redundant CMC configuration, care must be taken to update CMC firmware on both modules. Failure to do so may cause unexpected behavior during a CMC failover or failback. Use the following procedure for redundant CMC deployments. Initial System Configuration 35
