Scaleable BladeLink
Conjoining server blades using the Scaleable BladeLink enables four (BL870c i2) and eight (BL890c
i2) socket server blade variants.
In a conjoined configuration, one of the BL860c i2 Server Blades becomes the master blade, also
referred to as the monarch blade. The monarch server blade is in the lowest numbered enclosure
bay, communication to the conjoined server blade is done through the monarch blade.
Each Scaleable BladeLink includes a trap door for the label carrier. To access the label carrier:
1.
Locate the indentation on the upper-right corner of the access door.
2.
Use the indent to pull the door open.
