Management
One or two Chassis Management Modules (CMMs), for basic chassis management. Two CMMs
form a redundant pair; One CMM standard in 8721-A1x. The CMM interfaces with the integrated
management module (IMM) or Flexible Service Processor (FSP) integrated in each compute
node in the chassis. Optional IBM Flex System Manager management appliance for
comprehensive management, including virtualization, networking, and storage management.

Power supplies
Six 2500W power modules that provide N+N or N+1 redundant power; Two standard in model
8721-A1x. Power supplies are 80 PLUS Platinum-certified and provide 95% efficiency at 50%
load and 92% efficiency at 100% load. Power capacity of 2500W output rated at 200VAC. Each
power supply contains two independently powered 40 mm (1.57 in) cooling fan modules. 2100W
power supplies also available via CTO only and with restricted configurations.
