Updating
the
blade
server
configuration
When
the
blade
server
starts
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option,
you
might
receive
a
message
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
automatically
starts
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
settings.
See
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
39
for
more
information
about
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
Some
options
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
option
for
information
about
installing
device
drivers.
The
blade
server
operates
as
a
symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
server,
regardless
of
how
many
microprocessors
are
installed.
For
optimum
performance,
you
must
upgrade
the
operating
system
to
support
SMP.
See
Chapter

Input/output
connectors
and
devices
The
input/output
connectors
that
are
available
to
the
blade
server
are
supplied
by
the
BladeCenter
unit.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
BladeCenter
unit
for
information
about
the
input/output
connectors.
The
blade
server
has
two
selection
buttons
on
the
control
panel:
the
media
tray
select
button
and
the
keyboard/video/mouse
select
button.
See
“Control
panel
buttons
and
LEDs”
on
page
12
for
information
about
these
buttons
and
their

The
Ethernet
controllers
on
the
blade
server
communicate
with
the
network
through
the
Ethernet-compatible
I/O
modules
on
the
BladeCenter
unit.
Network
signals
to
and
from
the
blade
server
or
any
expansion
cards
are
automatically
routed
to
a
same-network-interface
I/O
module
through
circuitry
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
