Establishing a physical connection
To establish the physical connection to the Advanced Management Module use one of the following methods:
1. Use a Category 5 UTP straight through cable to connect the Ethernet port on the management module to a switch in a network that has an networked management station (PC or notebook).
2. Use a Category 5 cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the Advanced Management Module to a standalone management station (PC or notebook).

Checkpoint (1 of 2)
1. Select the correct statement describing the features provided by Advanced Management Module (AMM)
a. The AMM provides management only common chassis components, not Blade Serversb. The AMM provides management for Blade Servers if additional software drivers are installed
on the Blade Serversc. The AMM provides management to common chassis components and Blade Servers and
does not require additional software or driversd. Management through the AMM requires IBM Director
2. True/False: The IBM BladeCenter requires a standalone management server, shipped with each BladeCenter chassis.
3. True/False: The Advanced Management Module (AMM) requires one Blade-server dedicated to chassis management.
4. True/False: In order for the AMM to discover and identify the VPD for a Blade-server, the Blade-server does not have to be powered on.
5. Which statement is correct regarding the AMM?a. Replacement of an AMM requires a power-down of the BladeCenter chassisb. Each BladeCenter model implements a specific AMM for that modelc. Access to the AMM is local only, through the KVM connection on the moduled. The AMM provides both local and remote access to the BladeCenter, and is standardized
across chassis, with functions specific where needed.

(AMM)a. The AMM provides management only common chassis components, not Blade Serversb. The AMM provides management for Blade Servers if additional software drivers are installed on the
Blade Serversc. The AMM provides management to common chassis components and Blade Servers and does
not require additional software or driversd. Management through the AMM requires IBM Director
Answer: c2. True/False: The IBM BladeCenter requires a standalone management server, shipped with each
BladeCenter chassis.Answer: False
3. True/False: The Advanced Management Module (AMM) requires one Blade-server dedicated to chassis management.
Answer: False4. True/False: In order for the AMM to discover and identify the VPD for a Blade-server, the Blade-
server does not have to be powered on. Answer: True
5. Which statement is correct regarding the AMM?a. Replacement of an AMM requires a power-down of the BladeCenter chassisb. Each BladeCenter model implements a specific AMM for that modelc. Access to the AMM is local only, through the KVM connection on the moduled. The AMM provides both local and remote access to the BladeCenter, and is standardized across
chassis, with functions specific where needed. Answer: d

6. True/False: A configuration application is required at the workstation to configure the AMM.
7. Select the correct statement regarding GUI tasks available through the AMMa. Configuration can be performed for external storage controllersb. Blade Server boot sequence can be displayed but not changedc. Tasks include: Monitors, Blade Tasks, I/O Module Tasks, MM Control and Service
Tools d. An external KVM must be attached to the AMM to view a Blade Server OS console
8. Which statement is correct regarding AMM firmware update? a. All activity must be stopped prior to restarting (rebooting) the AMM b. The AMM firmware can be loaded through the Web interface and a non-disruptive
restart can be done c. On BladeCenter models H and E, both primary and secondary AMMs must be
updated separatelyd. Installation of a new AMM in a chassis requires re-configuration of the AMM
