EME Management Architecture
The Enterprise Management Engine (EME) is the
primary communication mechanism into the 8-slot
chassis and any installed switch fabric modules and
interface modules.
The EME is an SNMP-based network management
module that manages and controls the Switch 4007R
chassis and its modules.

The EME has the following features:
Chassis Management Architecture — Provides a
I
cost-efficient management architecture that
provides:
A central point of contact for chassis
I
management
Intelligent Power Management — Works with
I
the EMC to protect network integrity using power
management. The EME manages power use in the
chassis by:
Preventing newly installed interface modules,
I
switch fabric modules, and management
modules from receiving power when there is
not enough power available.
Allowing you to prioritize the order in which
I
modules power off (if there is insufficient power
available).
Allowing you to implement fault-tolerant
I
power, which allows the chassis to reserve some
of its power capacity to protect against a power
supply failure.
