Installing and Configuring the Aggregator
Installing the Aggregator in a PowerEdge Chassis
After you unpack the Aggregator, install FlexIO modules in the base module
and slide the Aggregator into one of the open I/O module slots in the back of
a PowerEdge M1000e chassis.
NOTE:
If you plug a FlexIO module into an Aggregator that is already powered
on and inserted in an M1000e chassis, you must reboot the Aggregator for the plug-
in module to be activated.
The M1000e chassis is a 10U rack-mountable blade chassis that holds:
Server blades: Eight full-height or 16 half-height, or 32 quarter-height
blades
Switch blades: Six I/O modules and two integrated chassis management
controllers
Server blades are installed in the front of the chassis (Figure 1-7); I/O
modules are installed in the back of the chassis (Figure 1-8).
