Connecting the Server Blade
All connections that are required to operate the BX620 S5 Server Blade are
made via the midplane of the basic unit. When the server blade is installed in
the blade server chassis, midplane contacts automatically establish connec-
tions to the following modules on the rear of the basic unit:
–
Power supply units
–
Management blade(s) for server administration
–
KVM blade for connecting the keyboard, mouse and monitor
–
Ethernet switch blade(s) and/or pass-thru blade(s) for the LAN connection
–
Fibre Channel switch blades or pass-thru blade(s) for connection to a SAN
(optional, requires the installation of a Fibre Channel daughter card in the
server blade, see Options Guide)
