In addition to the InfiniBand switching capability it shares with other Supermicro Blade InfiniBand switches, the SBM-IBS-Q3616M module includes provision for the installation of an optional integrated Chassis Management Module (CMM). This “mini-CMM” (BMB-CMM-002) is installed as an add-on-module inside the switch chassis. This allows installation of two (redundant) switches in the SuperBlade enclosure without the loss of system management capability. Note that a dual-port InfiniBand add-on card is required if redundant switches are installed.
Either the RJ45 connector or the KVM connector on the front of the SBM-IBS-Q3616M can be used to connect to the integrated CMM module. There is also an activity indicator LED for the CMM on the left-hand side of the front of the SBM-IBS-Q3616M.
