This guide provides information on configuring your system and the server modules in your system. The guide provides a starting point for system configuration; however, additional information is available from additional sources. Your system can include up to six server modules (or blades). Each server module functions as an individual system encompassing up to two microprocessors, up to two hard drives, and up to two memory modules. To function as a system, a server module is inserted into a system that includes power supplies, fans, a system management module, and at least one network switch module. The power supplies, fans, system management module, and network switch module are shared resources of the server modules in the system. In addition, your system may also ship with a USB diskette drive and a USB CD drive, which you can use for system setup and configuration.

System Configuration Guide
1-1
This guide provides information on configuring your system and the server modules in your
system. The guide provides a starting point for system configuration; however, additional
information is available from additional sources.
Your system can include up to six server modules (or blades). Each server module functions
as an individual system encompassing up to two microprocessors, up to two hard drives, and
up to two memory modules. To function as a system, a server module is inserted into a
system that includes power supplies, fans, a system management module, and at least one
network switch module. The power supplies, fans, system management module, and
network switch module are shared resources of the server modules in the system. In
addition, your system may also ship with a USB diskette drive and a USB CD drive, which
you can use for system setup and configuration. Figure 1-1 shows the drive shelf attached so
that you can load software.
