Remote Management And Console Ethernet Connector - IBM BladeCenter Management Module Installation Manual

Remote management and console Ethernet connector

Your BladeCenter management module contains one 10/100 Mb Ethernet
connector that provides the remote connection to the network management
station on the network. Use this port to establish connections with the remote
management and remote console features of the BladeCenter unit.
The network management station, through this port, can access control
functions running in the service processor on each blade server or within other
components installed in the BladeCenter unit. The network management
station cannot use this port to communicate with application programs
running in the blade servers. The network management station must direct all
application related communications through a network connected to the
external ports of the I/O modules installed in the BladeCenter unit, which then
interface with the blade servers and their application programs.
The following illustration shows the Ethernet connector that is on the
management module.
