Abstract
Described is an enclosure that is configurable to perform either in-band or out-of-band enclosure management. The enclosure includes a midplane, a processor blade, and a management module. The processor blade has program code for collecting management information from other components in the enclosure. If the enclosure is configured for in-band enclosure management, the processor blade executes the program code to collect the management information. If the enclosure is configured for out-of-band enclosure management, the management module is configured to execute program code for collecting the management information instead of the processor blade.
