The advanced management module is a hot-swap BladeCenter module that you use to configure and manage all installed BladeCenter components. The advanced management module provides system-management functions and keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) multiplexing for all the blade servers in a BladeCenter chassis that support KVM. It controls a serial port for remote connection; the external keyboard, mouse, and video connections for use by a local console; and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet remote-management connection.
