Hello
Buy a CMC.
A blade cannot power on without a functional CMC present. You only need a single CMC. A second CMC is only for the purpose of redundancy.
You may need additional power connectors as well. I don't know if it will power on a blade with a single PSU. You can review the M1000e manual to check the requirements.

The removable flash media on the CMC is optional. You do not need it.
