Intel® Server Compute Blade SBX44: Installation and User’s Guide
If there is no response when you press a select button, you can use the management module Web
interface to see if local power control has been disabled on the blade server.
Notes:
1. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to
recognize and use the keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM drive, and diskette drive. The system chassis
uses USB for internal communication with these devices.
2. It can take approximately 20 seconds for the operating system in the switched-to blade server to
recognize the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port, or the keyboard, video, and mouse.
3. If you install Microsoft* Windows* 2000 on the blade server while it is not the current owner of
the keyboard, video, and mouse, the first time the blade server requests ownership after the
operating system has been installed, it can take up to one minute for the operating system to
recognize the devices (this is a one-time-only occurrence).
The Ethernet controllers on your blade server communicate with the network through the Ethernet
switch modules on the system chassis. Network signals to and from the blade server or any I/O
expansion options are automatically routed to a same-network-interface switch module through
circuitry in the system chassis.
