Replacing the System Management Module (SMM)
Each system supports one (1) System Management Module (SMM) installed in the lower left rear of the
system. The SMM controls management and reporting for system features and components.

Removing the SMM
Before replacing the SMM, it is highly recommended that system settings be backed up in order to migrate
them to the new SMM.
To migrate current system settings and the system PDM VPD onto the new SMM, complete the following
steps:
1.
Ensure successful completion of the SMM setting backup, the system VPD backup, and the PDM VPD
back up procedures as detailed in the Intel® Server System R2600SR System Management Module
(SMM) User's Guide.
Note: Use a FAT32-formatted USB flash drive with at least 1GB empty space to back up SMM settings from
the SMM for installation onto the new SMM for settings restore.
