The CMM provides the following features and functions:
- Single-chassis management
- Power control and fan management
- Chassis and compute node initialization
- Chassis management network
- Diagnostics
- Service data collection and call home services
- Resource discovery and inventory management
- Resource alerts and monitoring management
- Chassis and compute node power management
- Network management
- A serial management connector (mini-USB form factor) for a local connection to another computer, such as a notebook computer
- An external standard USB connector (future use)
- A 10/100/1000 Mbps remote management and console (Ethernet) connector
