One of the advantages of a modular server system is the reduction in cable management needs
within a rack system. The inclusion of fabric switches, integrated KVM and system management
aggregation at the CMCs provides six‐fold or better cable reduction. The following table shows a
comparison of a typical reduction available when using the M1000e Modular system with integrated
switches, compared to traditional ―rack and stack‖ components. The configuration in the table
assumes a server with four Ethernet ports and two Fibre Channel ports. In support of the M1000e,
Dell offers a modular system cable management system to ease system installation in Dell or other
industry-standard racks.
