18 2 Chassis Enclosure Chassis Management Module The Chassis Management Module (CMM) (Figure 2-9) is a required module in a blade system. This "command" module communicates with the blade units, the power supplies and the blade switches. Used in conjunction with the Web Interface or Acer Smart Blade Manager, the CMM provides administrator control over individual blade units, power supplies, cooling fans and networking switches and monitors onboard temperatures, power status, voltage levels and fan speeds. There are several models of CMM modules that may be used with your system. These include: The CMM provides a dedicated, local and remote KVM (keyboard/ video/mouse) connection over an out of band TCP/IP Ethernet network during any server state (functioning, blue-screen, powered down, BIOS and so on). It also supports Virtual Media (VM) redirection for CD, floppy and USB mass storage devices and configures such information as the switch IP addresses. Figure 2-9.
