Connect to the Chassis Management Module

The Chassis Management Module (CMM) is used to remotely manage and monitor server hosts, power supplies, cooling fans, and networking switches. The CMM comes with a web management utility that consolidates and simplifies system management for the FortiAnalyzer-BigData chassis. This setup requires 15 IPs from the same subnet: 1 CMM IP and 14 Blade IPMI IPs, and addition two IPs for two switch modules' management GUI if needed.

The CMM is the module in the middle of the back panel for both the 4500F and 4500G unit; however, there are some differences in the CMM GUI between the two appliances. Proceed with instructions according to your appliance. See the appropriate FortiAnalyzer-BigData Getting Started Guide on the Fortinet Document Library.
