The CIMC is an on-board management unit for the Cisco UCS C-series Rack-mount servers that provides out-of-band management capabilities. There is no additional cost to use the CIMC. However, you might consider other management options if you prefer a single management system rather than managing each server via CIMC separately. The Cisco UCS C-Series Management Options Video Data Sheet (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10493/cis-102143.html) has some useful information on the management options for the Cisco UCS C-series Rack-mount servers.
