60 PowerEdge M1000e Technical GuideManagement connections transfer health and control traffic throughout the chassis. The systemmanagement fabric is architected for 100BaseT Ethernet over differential pairs routed to eachmodule. There are two 100BaseT interfaces between CMCs, one switched and one unswitched. Allsystem management Ethernet is routed for 100 Mbps signaling. Every module has a managementnetwork link to each CMC, with redundancy provided at the module level. Failure of any individuallink will cause failover to the redundant CMC.Server managementSee theDell PowerEdge Mxxx Technical Guide on Dell.com/PowerEdge for each of the compatibleblade servers offered for more details on server management.Enclosure managementThe CMC provides secure remote management access to the chassis and installed modules. TheM1000e must have at least one CMC and supports an optional redundant module, each occupying aslot accessible through the back of the chassis. Redundancy is provided in an Active — Standbypairing of the modules and failover occurs when the active module has failed or degraded. The CMCinterfaces through dual stacking 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and one serial port. The CMC serialport interface provides common management of up to six I/O modules through a single connection.The CMC provides many features, including: Deployment— LCD-based deployment wizard— Single secure interface for inventory, configuration, monitoring, and alerting for servermodules, chassis infrastructure and I/O Modules— Centralized configuration for iDRAC, I/O Modules and CMC— One-to-many iDRAC configuration— One-to-many blade boot device selection— One-to-many vMedia file share— Customized slot naming— I/O module configuration and launch— WWN/MAC display and persistence with FlexAddress; manages FlexAddress ports— Support for Network Time Protocol (NTP) Monitoring and troubleshooting— User interface entry point (web, telnet, SSH, serial)— Monitoring and alerting for chassis environmental conditions or component healththresholds. This includes but is not limited to the following:> Real-time power consumption> Power supplies> Fans> Power allocation> Temperature> CMC redundancy— I/O fabric consistency— Consolidated status reporting and event logs> Email and SNMP alerting> Support for remote syslog> Blade events displayed in CMC— Consolidated chassis, blade, and I/O Inventory
