The management module (MGMT, with IPMB address 0x20) communicates with all modules in the chassis over
the base backplane. Each module, including the management module includes a Shelf Management Controller
(SMC). These SMCs support Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) communication between the
management module and the FIM and FPM modules for storing and sharing sensor data that the management
module uses to control chassis cooling and power distribution. The base backplane also supports serial
communications to allow console access from the management module to all modules, and 1Gbps Ethernet
communication for management and heartbeat communication between modules.
FIM1 (IPMB address 0x82) is the FIM module in slot 1. The interfaces of this module connect the chassis to data
networks and can be used for Ethernet management access to chassis components. The FIM module include
DP2 processors that distribute sessions over the Integrated Switch Fabric (ISF) to the NP6 processors in the
FPM modules. Data sessions are communicated to the FPM modules over the 80Gbps chassis fabric backplane.
FPM3 and FPM4 (IPMB addresses 0x86 and 0x88) are the FPM processor modules in slots 3 and 4. These
worker modules process sessions distributed to them by the FIM module. FPM modules include NP6 processors
to offload sessions from the FPM CPU and CP9 processors that accelerate content processing.
