R3040S Overview
Your ClearCube
®
R3040S Server blade is preconfigured with the
components and software you ordered (consult your shipping invoice
or sales representative for details). If you purchased Windows
®

In typical ClearCube environments, R3040S blades are centrally-
located in data centers. Each blade user has a user port (such as a
ClearCube I94x0 client, ClearCube C/Port, or thin client) on their
desk connected over a network to an R3040S blade. User ports
provide the interface to the blade.

inserted in a chassis slot pair that begins with an odd number.
