BLADE OS 5.1 Release Notes

16

BMD00098, December 2009

Chassis Internal Network

BLADEOS 5.1 now supports BladeCenter Chassis Internal Network (CIN). CIN provides internal 
connectivity between blade server ports and the internal Advanced Management Module (AMM) 
port. This allows blade server users to access the AMM via CLI, web-browser, or SNMP session, 
and allows the AMM to use services on the blades, such as LDAP, SMTP, DNS, and NTP.

BC-S Chassis Support

BLADEOS 5.1 supports the BladeCenter BC-S chassis. When the GbESM is installed in the BC-S 
chassis, the following information displays reflect the BC-S port mapping:
