Blade Server Features |
Features |
Benefits |
Tool-less, hot-plug compute blades, management modules,
and network switches |
Fast, easy serviceability and lower support costs. |
Redundant components and network paths |
High availability for uninterrupted server uptime. |
Midplane that provides connection between individual
compute blades and shared resources |
Elimination of up to 100 cables for a full rack of
servers, simplifying maintenance and reducing data center clutter. |
Deployment flexibility across processor number and type,
as well as network fabric, and storage |
Configures to meet a wide range of data center needs. |

LEDs |
| Power-on LED |
When this green LED is lit,
power is present to the SBCE unit |
| Location LED |
When this blue LED is lit or
flashing, it has been turned on by the system administrator, to aid in visually locating
the SBCE unit. |
| Over-temperature LED |
When this amber LED is lit,
the temperature in the SBCE unit exceeds the temp limits or a blade server reports an
over-temp condition |
| Information LED |
When this amber LED is lit,
a noncritical event has occurred that requires attention |
| Power Modules |
| Standard |
Two 1400-watt or greater
(200-240VAC) hot-swap power modules; both power modules provide redundancy to each other |
| Maximum |
Four Power modules 1 and 2
supply 12V to all switch and management modules and to blade bays 1 through 6 Power
modules 3 and 4 supply 12V to blade bays 7 through 14 Power modules 1 and 2 provide
redundancy to each other Power modules 3 and 4 provide redundancy to each other |
