Installing and removing blade servers
Your BladeCenter unit supports up to 14 high-performance blade servers. Each
blade server is an enclosure that contains microprocessors, memory, a control chip
set, an I/O bus, Ethernet controllers, hard disk drives, customer interface controls,
and connectors for expansion options. The blade server receives its power, network
connection, and I/O devices (removable media drives, keyboard, mouse, and video
ports, USB port, remote monitoring port) from the BladeCenter unit, reducing the
server physical size and reducing the number of cables needed.
Blade server expansion options
Some blade servers contain connectors for options that add capabilities to the blade
server. You can add these options before installing the blade server in the
BladeCenter unit.
Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ on the World Wide Web for a list of available
options for your IBM blade server.
I/O expansion option
Some blade servers have connectors for adding an I/O expansion option, such as
the IBM HS20 Fibre Channel Expansion Card. The BladeCenter unit routes network
communication signals from the I/O expansion option to I/O modules 3 and 4 on the
BladeCenter unit. The I/O expansion option is attached directly to the blade server
but does not occupy an additional blade bay.
