8. Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade server control panel is lit continuously, indicating that the blade server is receiving power and is turned on. 9. If you have other blade servers to install, do so now. If you reinstall a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same blade bay from which you removed it. Some blade server configuration information and update options are established according to bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a different blade bay from the one from which it was removed could have unintended consequences, and you might have to reconfigure the blade server. If this is the initial installation for the blade server in the SBCE unit, you must configure the blade server through the Configuration/Setup Utility program and install the blade server operating system. See "Updating the Blade Server Configuration" on page 36 and Chapter 7, "Installing the Operating System" for details. 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 57 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 comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one microprocessor is installed, the blade server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 7, "Installing the Operating System" and your operating-system documentation for additional information. Input/output Connectors and Devices The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by the SBCE unit. See the documentation that comes with the SBCE 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 "Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs" on page 10 for information about these buttons and their functions. The Ethernet controllers on the blade server communicate with the network through the Ethernet-compatible I/O modules on the SBCE 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 SBCE unit. 36 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User's Guide
