The management module communicates with module SMCs in the chassis, each of which is responsible for local
management of one or more Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), including FIM and FPM modules, fan trays, and power
supplies. Management communication within a chassis occurs over the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB).
The management module includes LED indicators that report on the status of many of the chassis components,
including fan trays and power supplies. You can also use the management module console ports to connect to the
management module CLI and to the CLI of the modules in chassis slots 1 to 6.
The management module controls chassis power allocation, monitors chassis operating parameters, monitors and
controls chassis cooling, and generates alarms if the chassis encounters problems. All FIM and FPM modules installed
in the chassis communicate with the management module through the module's IPMB. FIM and FPM module power
on/off requires authorization from the management module and the management module controls the power supplied
by the chassis power systems to the modules.
Each module in the chassis includes its own module Shelf Manager Controller (SMC) Serial Debug Interface (SDI) or
SMC SDI console that communicates with the management module SMC SDI. You can connect a serial cable to the
management module console ports to connect to the management module SMC SDI and to connect to each module's
SMC SDI console. You can also interact with the SMC SDI consoles using an Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI) tool.
