Access Modes
The X6800 server nodes and Hyper Management Module (HMM) are configured with
independent IP addresses. You can access the Intelligent Baseboard Management Controller
(iBMC) of a server node or the HMM to manage the X6800.

Networking
The X6800 provides flexible networking of the management network:
l
The server nodes are directly connected to the switch outside the X6800 chassis to form an
out-of-band management network plane. You must set LAN Port Configuration to
Dedicated on the BIOS. You also can connect Data plane network and transfer management
message through NC-SI.

determine a proper rotation speed, and then sends it to the fan switch board. The fan
switch board receives fan speed signals from the fan modules and reports the fan module
status to the HMM.
PSU monitoring and management: The HMM provides one inter-integrated circuit (I
for managing the PSUs and general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins for detecting the
PSU installation status and PwrOk state. The HMM supports queries on PSU output
power, PSU installation status, and PSU alarms.
On a server node, you can:
– Directly access the iBMC through the iBMC management network port on the
server node.
– Access the iBMC through a service network port on a network interface card (NIC)
over a network controller sideband interface (NC-SI).
– Access the HMM in transparent transmission mode through the iBMC management
network port. For details, see Configuring Transparent Transmission.
Through the converged management network port on the chassis mounting ear or on the
HMM, you can:
– Directly access the HMM.
– Access the iBMC in converged management node. For details, see Configuring
Network Port Aggregation.
