The following illustration shows the placement of the label, just to the side of the blade server, on the BladeCenter T unit. CMM 1 CMM 2 C D User label CD CD 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 turning on the blades. 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 cannot install the bezel assembly, a filter must be provided on the rack. See the IBM BladeCenter Eserver T Planning and Installation Guide for information about installing an air filter on the rack (you can obtain the planning guide from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/). If this is the initial installation for a blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you must configure the blade server with the blade server Configuration/Setup Utility and install the blade server operating system. See "Updating your blade server configuration" and the IBM BladeCenter HS40 Type 8839 Installation and Eserver User's Guide 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 external SCSI device (if the storage expansion unit has been installed), you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The blade server Configuration/Setup Utility program starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more information, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 11. Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each option for information about installing device drivers. If your blade server comes with more than one microprocessor or if your blade server comes with one microprocessor and you have installed additional microprocessors, your blade server might be able to operate as an SMP server.

start
your
blade
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
option
or
external
SCSI
device
(if
the
storage
expansion
unit
has
been
installed),
you
might
receive
a
message
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
blade

Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
starts
automatically
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
settings.
For
more
information,
see
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
11.
Some

have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
option
for
information
about
installing

drivers.
If
your

comes
with
more
than
one
microprocessor
or
if
your

server
comes
with
