Connecting devices
All connections that are required to operate the server blade are made via the
midplane of the system unit. When the server blade is installed, midplane
contacts automatically establish connections to the infrastructure modules on
the rear of the system unit:
– Power supply units
– Management blade(s) for server administration
– Ethernet and/or fiber-channel connection blades for connection to a LAN or
SAN
You can find information about the external ports of the system unit in the
relevant operating manual.
The front of the server blade has a port for a special Y-cable, which provides
2 USB ports and 1 VGA port. An additional USB port is available on the front of
the server blade.
