The following CIMs are supported for blade chassis being managed through the KX III:
Following is a table containing supported CIMs for each blade chassis model that the KX III supports.
Blade chassis |
Connection method |
Recommended CIM(s) |
---|---|---|
Generic |
If a D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB is used when connecting to a blade-chassis configured as Generic, you will be able to select the USB profiles from the Port Configuration page and the client's USB Profile menu. However, virtual media is not supported for generic blade chassis and the Virtual Media menu is disabled on the client. |

IBM BladeCenter T |
The BladeCenter T chassis ships standard with one Advanced Management Module. In contrast to the standard BladeCenter chassis, the KVM module and the Management Module in the BladeCenter T chassis are separate components. The front of the Management Module only features the LEDs for displaying status. All Ethernet and KVM connections are fed through to the rear to the LAN and KVM modules. The KVM module is a hot swap module at the rear of the chassis providing two PS/2 connectors for keyboard and mouse, a systems-status panel, and a HD-15 video connector.

Note: In order to support Auto-discovery, IBM BladeCenter Models H and E must use AMM with firmware version BPET36K or later.
Note: In the case of IBM Blade Center Models E and H, the KX III only supports auto-discovery for AMM[1] as the acting primary management module.
Note: Audio is disabled for all KVM switch targets.
