Carrier and Module BMC and MMC Combinations
The PICMG COM-HPC Platform Management Interface Specification defines a number of different carrier and module options, which differ based
on their management capabilities. Table 45 below lays out the options and defines a shorthand notation for the options. Full details are in the PICMG
COM-HPC Platform Management Interface Specification.
Assuming that the Types of the Carrier and Module match up (Server with Server, Client with Client) and the board sizes / connector positions match up
(size A, B, C or size D,E) then a C.U or C.M Carrier shall be basically operable with a M.U or M.B or M.F Module. The OOB management features may be
missing, depending on what is matched with what. Additionally, there will likely be some vendor specific aspects to OOB management options.
