The advanced management module that is installed in the BladeCenter® T and BladeCenter HT chassis differ from the advanced management module that is installed in the other BladeCenter chassis in that it has firmware specifically designed to support these ruggedized, NEBS-3/ETSI-compliant chassis.
The BladeCenter T chassis has a unique profile that makes it ideal for rugged and telecommunications industry uses. The BladeCenter T advanced management module provides a different physical form than the advanced management module, but the firmware functionality is nearly identical.
The BladeCenter T advanced management module is sometimes referred to as the Chassis Management Module 2 (CMM2) and is made in a different form factor than the other advanced management modules.
Each event generated by the advanced management module has a severity assigned to it. The same severities are assigned to events in the BladeCenter T and the BladeCenter HT chassis, but they are slightly different for other chassis.
The BladeCenter T and BladeCenter HT chassis provide an alarm panel (sometimes referred to as alarm manager) on the front of the media tray,. This is also visible from the advanced management module Web interface and command-line interface (CLI). The BladeCenter T and BladeCenter HT advanced management module support additional severities of Major and Minor, which are shown in the alarm panel and in SNMP traps
The following table shows event severities for each of the BladeCenter chassis:
| BladeCenter T chassis | BladeCenter HT chassis | All other BladeCenter chassis | Displayed in the event log (all chassis) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Critical | Critical | Error |
| Major | Major | Critical | Error |
| Minor | Minor | Warning or System | Warning |
