The management module functions as a service processor and a
keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) multiplexor for the multiple blade servers in a
BladeCenter unit. You configure the BladeCenter unit and modules through the
management module, configuring information such as the management
module and I/O module IP addresses. The management module provides the
following external connections: keyboard, mouse, and video for use by a local
console, and one RJ-45 connector for a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet remote
management connection.
The service processor in the management module communicates with the
service processor in each blade server for functions such as:
v Blade server power-on requests
v Blade server error and event reporting
v Blade server requests for keyboard, mouse, and video
v Blade server requests for diskette drive (some BladeCenter unit types),
optical drive, and USB port
The management module also communicates with the I/O modules, power
modules, blower modules, and blade servers in the BladeCenter unit to detect
their presence or absence and any error conditions, sending alerts when
required.
