ABSTRACT:
Each chassis includes a back plane having a plurality of slots and a CPU blade server and CMMs which are inserted in the slots, respectively. The back plane has a storage unit storing a housing number for identifying the housing, in-housing chassis numbers for identifying the chassis in the housing, and in-chassis slot IDs for identifying the slots. When the blade server is inserted into the corresponding slot, the blade server acquires the in-chassis slot ID from the back plane. When the CMMs are inserted into the corresponding slots, the CMMs acquire housing numbers and in-housing chassis numbers from the back plane, holds the housing number and the in-housing chassis numbers, and manages the configuration of the blade server through the back plane. One of the CMMs manages the other CMMs.
