Interface Management between CPU Blade and Switch Module
If the CPU blade is incorrectly connected with the switch module, it will be damaged. To prevent
this, the EM card checks the interface between them. If the interface is not proper one, the EM card
suppresses power-on of the relevant CPU blade and the switch module, or disable the connection
port.
NOTE:
For connection between the CPU blade and switch module in
the Blade Enclosure, refer to the User's Guide of the switch module.
Chassis Information Management
The EM card manages the names of a rack, a Blade Enclosure, CPU blades, and switch modules.
Except for CPU blade name, they are specified in a configuration file.
NOTE:
The CPU blade name can be obtained from the CPU blade.
Boot Control
The EM card can provide settings for boot devices to each CPU blade.
This feature is intended to provide settings for iSCSI boot or FC boot without using the BIOS
SETUP menu of the CPU blade.
NOTES:
To set boot device, the BIOS on CPU blade or mezzanine card must
support this feature.
