and you must configure SMP to enable dual core. See Chapter 6, "Installing the operating system," on page 43 and your operating-system documentation for additional information. Input/output connectors and devices The input/output connectors that are available to the blade workstation for external devices are supplied by the BladeCenter unit. See the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit for information about the input/output connectors. The blade workstation has two selection buttons on the control panel: the media-tray select button and the keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) select button. See "The control panel buttons and LEDs" on page 12 for information about these buttons and their functions. The Ethernet controller in the blade workstation communicates with the network through an Ethernet-compatible I/O module (the default is I/O module 1) on the BladeCenter unit. Network signals to and from the blade workstation are automatically routed to the I/O module through circuitry in the blade workstation and the BladeCenter unit. The compression card in the blade workstation, which provides the user interface to the thin client, communicates with the remote thin client through an Ethernet-compatible I/O module in I/O bay 2 of the BladeCenter unit. Note: When you use the BladeCenter management-module Web interface to view the hardware VPD information for the blade workstation, the compression card is listed as an expansion card. 26 BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996: Installation and User's Guide

Input/output
connectors
and
devices
The
input/output
connectors
that
are
available
to
the
blade
workstation
for
external
devices
are
supplied
by
the
BladeCenter
unit.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
BladeCenter
unit
for
information
about
the
input/output
connectors.
The
blade
workstation
has
two
selection
buttons
on
the
control
panel:
the
media-tray
select
button
and
the
keyboard/video/mouse
(KVM)
select
button.
See
“The
control
panel
buttons
and
LEDs”
on
page
12
for
information
about
these
buttons
and
their
functions.
The
Ethernet
controller
in
the
blade
workstation
communicates
with
the
network
through
an
Ethernet-compatible
I/O
module
(the
default
is
I/O
module
1)
on
the
BladeCenter
unit.
Network
signals
to
and
from
the
blade
workstation
are
automatically
routed
to
the
I/O
module
through
circuitry
in
the
blade
workstation
and
the
BladeCenter
unit.
The
compression
card
in
the
blade
workstation,
which
provides
the
user
interface
to
the
thin
client,
communicates
with
the
remote
thin
client
through
an
Ethernet-compatible
I/O
module
in
I/O
bay
2
of
the
BladeCenter
unit.
Note:
When
you
use
the
BladeCenter
management-module
Web
interface
to
view
the
hardware
VPD
information
for
the
blade
workstation,
the
compression
card
is
listed
as
an
expansion
card.
