Management module overview
A management module manages the power supply of each module and
monitors the status of the system unit. Server blades and various modules
create a network within the system unit. A management module supports the
management functionality of that network. If two management modules are
installed and the active management module fails, the other standby
management module runs to secure fault tolerance of the system unit.
