6.3 PowerEdge MX7000 component management
All switches running OS10EE form a redundant management cluster that provides a single REST API
endpoint to OME-M to manage all switches in a chassis or across all chassis in an MCM group. Figure 18
shows the PowerEdge MX networking IOMs in the MCM group. This page is accessed by selecting Devices
> I/O Modules.
Each IOM can be configured directly from the OME-M console. Administrative tasks include:
• Viewing IOM-specific alerts
• Power cycling the IOM
• Configuring device management information
• Configuring port breakout modes
• Updating IOM firmware

IOMs are configured to receive their management IP address via DHCP by default. To optionally configure
static IP addresses and hostnames on the MX9116n IOMs, do the following:
1. Open the OME-M console.
2. From the navigation menu, click Devices > I/O Modules.
3. Click IOM-A1 for the first MX9116n.
4. On the IOM-A1 page, click the Settings tab and expand Network.
5. Under IPv4 settings, uncheck the Enable DHCP box and specify a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway.
6. Click Apply.
7. Expand Management and enter a Host Name, for example, MX9116n-1.
8. Click Apply.
Repeat steps 3-7 for the second MX9116n, IOM-A2.
