Pmm/dc-mhs hpm interposer system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a computing device;
• a Modular Hardware System Host Processor Module (DC-MHS HPM);
• and
• a Pluggable Multipurpose Module (PMM)/DC-MHS HPM interposer including:
• a DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem that is included on the interposer board and connected to the DC-MHS HPM;
• a PMM connector subsystem that is included on the interposer board and that is connected to the computing device;
• an interposer Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that is included on the interposer board, coupled to the DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem, and configured to perform management operations on the DC-MHS HPM;
• a power controller that is included on the interposer board, coupled to the PMM connector subsystem, and cabled to the DC-MHS HPM;
• and
• a translation subsystem that is included on the interposer board, coupled to the DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem and the PMM connector subsystem, and configured to perform PMM/DC-MHS HPM translations on data transmitted between the DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem and the PMM connector subsystem.

A method for connecting a Data Center-Modular Hardware System Host Processor Module (DC-MHS HPM) to a Pluggable Multipurpose Module (PMM) connector subsystem on a computing device using a PMM/DC-MHS HPM interposer, comprising:

• connecting, by a Data Center-Modular Hardware System Host Processor Module (DC-MHS HPM) connector subsystem on Pluggable Multipurpose Module (PMM)/DC-MHS HPM interposer, to a DC-MHS HPM;
• connecting, by a PMM connector subsystem on the PMM/DC-MHS HPM interposer, to a computing device;
• managing, by an interposer Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the PMM/DC-MHS HPM interposer that is coupled to the DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem, the DC-MHS HPM;
• controlling, by a power controller on the PMM/DC-MHS HPM interposer that is coupled to the PMM connector subsystem and cabled to the DC-MHS HPM, power provided by the computing device to the DC-MHS HPM;
• and
• translating, by a translation subsystem on the PMM/DC-MHS HPM interposer that is coupled to the DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem and the PMM connector subsystem, data transmitted between the DC-MHS HPM connector subsystem and the PMM connector subsystem.
