ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to couple a rear transition module to a carrier board includes detecting a rear transition module (RTM) coupled to an interface resident on a carrier board, the carrier board coupled to a backplane. The method further includes logically coupling the RTM to a management controller resident on the carrier board and managing the RTM in a same manner as a front accessible module coupled to another interface resident on the carrier board.
