Remote management

Remote management functionality is provided by the Advanced Management Module (AMM). The AMM is a

hot-swap module that you use to configure and manage all installed BladeCenter components. The AMM

provides system management functions and KVM multiplexing for all blade servers in the BladeCenter unit that

support KVM. It controls a serial port for remote connection, the external keyboard, mouse, and video

connections for use by a local console, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet remote management connection.

The BladeCenter H chassis comes standard with at least one AMM, and it supports up to two redundant hot-

swap AMMs in an active/standby configuration. Table 9 shows the AMM ordering information.
