When you make configuration changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the system information. - Product Data Select this choice to view the machine type and model of the blade server, the serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS and diagnostics code stored in electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM). v Devices and I/O Ports Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports. You can also enable or disable the integrated SAS and Ethernet controllers, all standard ports (such as serial), and the I/O-expansion card. Enable is the default setting for all controllers. If you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable the Ethernet controller, the blade server will have no Ethernet capability. 44 BladeCenter LS21 Type 7971 and LS41 Type 7972: Installation and User's Guide
