BladeSystem c-Class Insight Display Chat Configuration logic One of the major advantages of the HP BladeSystem c-Class is its flexibility in allowing customers to configure the system in any way they desire. To assist the IT administrator in the configuration and setup process, the Onboard Administrator verifies the following attributes for each blade and interconnect module as they are added to the enclosure: • Configuration-The OA automatically queries all the field replaceable unit (FRU) data for each server, including mezzanine cards. The OA compares this information to the installed interconnect modules to ensure that the I/O fabric types match. If they do not, the OA issues a warning on the Insight Display with suggested corrective action. Typically the corrective action will be to move a server mezzanine card to a different slot. • Power-The OA ensures that there is sufficient power available to power up a server blade or interconnect module. 7

One of the major advantages of the HP BladeSystem c-Class is its flexibility in allowing customers to
configure the system in any way they desire. To assist the IT administrator in the configuration and
setup process, the Onboard Administrator verifies the following attributes for each blade and
interconnect module as they are added to the enclosure:
•
Configuration—The OA automatically queries all the field replaceable unit (FRU) data for each
server, including mezzanine cards. The OA compares this information to the installed interconnect
modules to ensure that the I/O fabric types match. If they do not, the OA issues a warning on the
Insight Display with suggested corrective action. Typically the corrective action will be to move a
server mezzanine card to a different slot.
•
Power—The OA ensures that there is sufficient power available to power up a server blade or
interconnect module.
