The SMM (MGMT), with Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) address 0x20) communicates with all modules in

the chassis over the base backplane. Each module, including the SMM includes a Shelf Management Controller (SMC).

These SMCs support IPMB communication between the SMM and the FIM and FPMs for storing and sharing sensor

data that the SMM uses to control chassis cooling and power distribution. The base backplane also supports serial

communications to allow console access from the SMM to all modules, and 1Gbps Ethernet communication for

management and heartbeat communication between modules.

FIM1 (IPMB address 0x82) is the FIM in slot 1. The interfaces of this module connect the chassis to data networks and

can be used for Ethernet management access to chassis components. The FIM includes DP2 processors that distribute

sessions over the Integrated Switch Fabric (ISF) to the NP6 processors in the FPMs. Data sessions are communicated

to the FPMs over the 80Gbps chassis fabric backplane.

FPM3 and FPM4 (IPMB addresses 0x86 and 0x88) are the FPM processor modules in slots 3 and 4. These worker

modules process sessions distributed to them by the FIM. FPMs include NP6 processors to offload sessions from the

FPM CPU and CP9 processors that accelerate content processing.
