PowerEdge M1000e: Back View with Six Aggregator Blades
After you slide the Aggregator in so that the connectors on the back of the
blade are inserted into the chassis midplane, the switch receives power from
the chassis and automatically powers on. The chassis management controller
(CMC) in the chassis validates that the switch blade is a supported I/O
module before powering it on.
When the Aggregator powers on, the Boot loader loads the image in the local
flash. The image initializes the hardware and brings the switch up in
operational mode.
