The chassis features:
• A high-speed passive midplane that connects the server modules in the front and to power,
I/O, and management infrastructure in the rear of the enclosure

connectivity between the CMC, keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch, and server modules

• Up to six hot-pluggable, redundant power supplies and nine hot-pluggable, N+1 redundant fan
modules
• System front control panel with LCD panel and two USB keyboard/mouse connections and one
