Cisco 8500 - Switch Main Board Overview

BMC Card
The switch has a removable Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) card. We recommend to remove the
BMC card before shipping the hardware for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request. Removal
of the BMC card enforces customer data security while performing an RMA.
You can access the BMC card in the SCM. To remove the BMC card, do the following:
