Power considerations
The BladeCenter enclosure contains two 2,000-watt 220 V ac power modules. These modules
must be attached to a supported high-voltage PDU. These standard power modules support
blade bays 1 through 6 with power redundancy. When adding additional blade servers in bays 7
through 14, a BladeCenter 2,000 watt power supply module must be installed. This option
provides both power and redundancy to these blade bays.
Cable orders: Each LS21 and LS41 for BladeCenter blade contains two Gigabit Ethernet
connections. An optional BladeCenter four-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module must be installed
in the BladeCenter to support additional Ethernet connections. This Ethernet switch contains four
ports with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface
(either at half- or full-duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is
not included with the server. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use an
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100 Mbps, or
higher operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or
better, cabling must be used.
Installations using the BladeCenter 2-port Fibre Channel Switch Module require short- or
long-wave small form factor pluggable (SFP) options and appropriate FC cabling.
Installability: Each LS21 or LS41 for BladeCenter requires approximately 10 minutes for
installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional
time is required to install an operating system, additional options, or features.
