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.
