System Management Architecture Diagram
Management connections transfer health and control traffic throughout the chassis. The system
management fabric is architected for 100BaseT Ethernet over differential pairs routed to each
module. There are two 100BaseT interfaces between CMCs, one switched and one unswitched. All
system management Ethernet is routed for 100 Mbps signaling. Every module has a management
network link to each CMC, with redundancy provided at the module level. Failure of any individual
link will cause failover to the redundant CMC.

Server Management
The server module base management solution includes additional features for efficient deployment
and management of servers in a modular server form factor. The base circuit, which integrates the
baseboard management controller (BMC) function with hardware support for Virtual KVM (vKVM) and
Virtual Media (vMedia), is the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). iDRAC has two
Ethernet connections, one for each CMC, providing system management interface redundancy.
Highlights of the iDRAC solution include the following:
•
Dedicated management interface
for high‐performance management functions
•
vMedia
•
vKVM
•
IPMI 2.0 Out-of-Band management
•
Serial-over-LAN redirection
•
Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Command Line Protocol (CLP)
•
