10. If you have other blades to install, do so now. Note: Reinstall the bezel assembly on the BladeCenter T unit after you have finished installing the blade servers (see the BladeCenter T Types 8720 and 8730 Installation and User's Guide for detailed instructions about reinstalling the bezel assembly). However, if you installed an option such as a PCI I/O Expansion Unit with PCI adapters that require cables, you will not be able to install the bezel assembly, which contains an air filter for the BladeCenter T unit. If you require an air filter, a filter must be provided on the rack. Attention: If you reinstall a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same 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 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 a blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you must configure the blade server with the Configuration/Setup Utility and install the blade server operating system. See "Updating your blade server configuration" and Chapter 5, "Installing the operating system," on page 55 for details. Updating your blade server configuration When you start your blade server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device (if the storage expansion unit has been installed), a message might be displayed informing you that the configuration has changed. The blade server Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 43 for more information about the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with the option for information about installing any required device drivers. Your blade server comes with one or two microprocessors installed on the system board. If your blade server comes with two microprocessors, or if your blade server comes with one microprocessor and you have installed an additional microprocessor, your blade server can now operate as an SMP server. Therefore, you might have to upgrade your operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 5, "Installing the operating system," on page 55 and your operating-system documentation for additional information. 40 BladeCenter HS20 Type 8832: Installation and User's Guide

10.
If
you
have
other
blades
to
install,
do
so
now.
Note:
Reinstall
the
bezel
assembly
on
the
BladeCenter
T
unit
after
you
have
finished
installing
the
blade
servers
(see
the
BladeCenter
T
Types
8720
and
8730
Installation
and
User’s
Guide
for
detailed
instructions
about
reinstalling
the
bezel
assembly).
However,
if
you
installed
an
option
such
as
a
PCI
I/O
Expansion
Unit
with
PCI
adapters
that
require
cables,
you
will
not
be
able
to
install
the
bezel
assembly,
which
contains
an
air
filter
for
the
BladeCenter
T
unit.
If
you
require
an
air
filter,
a
filter
must
be
provided
on
the
rack.
Attention:
If
you
reinstall
a
blade
server
that
you
removed,
you
must
install
it
in
the
same
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
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
a
blade
server
in
the
BladeCenter
unit,
you
must
configure
the
blade
server
with
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
and
install
the
blade
server
operating
system.
See
“Updating
your
blade
server
configuration”
and
Chapter
5,
“Installing
the
operating
system,”
on
page
55
for
details.
Updating
your
blade
server
configuration
When
you
start
your
blade
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option
or
an
external
SCSI
device
(if
the
storage
expansion
unit
has
been
installed),
a
message
might
be
displayed
informing
you
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
blade
server
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
automatically
starts
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
information.
See
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
43
for
more
information
about
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
Some
options
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
option
for
information
about
installing
any
required
device
drivers.
Your
blade
server
comes
with
one
or
two
microprocessors
installed
on
the
system
board.
If
your
blade
server
comes
with
two
microprocessors,
or
if
your
blade
server
comes
with
one
microprocessor
and
you
have
installed
an
additional
microprocessor,
your
blade
server
can
now
operate
as
an
SMP
server.
Therefore,
you
might
have
to
upgrade
your
operating
system
to
support
SMP.
See
Chapter
5,
“Installing
the
operating
system,”
on
page
55
and
your
operating-system
documentation
for
additional
information.
