92 3 Server Blades: Setup and Installation Overview This chapter covers the setup and installation of the blade module and its components. Installing Blade Modules Up to ten blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure. Blade modules with Windows and Linux operating systems may be mixed together in the same blade enclosure. Powering Up a Blade Unit Each blade unit may be powered on and off independently from the rest of the blades installed in the same enclosure. A blade unit may be powered up in two ways: • Press the power button on the blade unit. • Use Acer Smart Blade Manager or the Acer Smart Blade Console to apply power using either a CMM module, or by the use of the onboard BMC chip in the blade module. Powering Down a Blade Unit A blade unit may be powered down in any of three ways: • Press the power button on the blade unit. • Use Acer Smart Blade Manager or the Acer Smart Blade Console to power down (if you have Operator or Admin privileges on the CMM). • Use Acer Smart Blade Manager or a browser connected to the onboard BMC chip attached to the blade to power down. Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure Although the blade system may continue to run, individual blades should always be powered down before removing them from the enclosure.
