Chapter 1: Introduction
Storage
The MBI-6218G-T81X MicroBlade module has two 2.5" SATA3 HDD/SSD drives
internally mounted for storage or for installation of the blade’s operating system (one per
node). See
Chapter 3: " Setup and Installation" on page 3-1 for storage installation
details.
RAID
The MBI-6218G-T81X MicroBlade module supports up to two drives, but only one per
node, so RAID is NOT supported.
Density
A maximum of twenty-eight dual-node blade modules may be installed into a single
blade enclosure. Each blade enclosure is a 6U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may
accommodate up to seven enclosures with 196 dual-node blade modules or the
equivalent of 392 1U servers. With the inclusion of up to fourteen CMM modules and up
to twenty-eight Gigabit Ethernet switches this would occupy up to 434U space in a
conventional 1U server configuration.
BMC Password
For security, each blade unit is assigned a unique default BMC password for the ADMIN
user. It can be found on a sticker on the blade service tab, and a sticker on the
motherboard. The sticker also displays the BMC MAC address. For more information,
