SBXL52: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
Updating your blade server configuration
When you start your blade server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an
external SCSI device (if the storage expansion unit has been installed), you might see a message
telling you that the configuration has changed. The blade server Configuration/Setup Utility
program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration information. See “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 11 for more information about the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation that comes with
your option for information about installing any required device drivers.
Your blade server comes with one or two microprocessors installed on the system board. If your
blade server comes with two microprocessors, or your blade server comes with one microprocessor
and you have installed an additional microprocessor, your blade server can now operate as an SMP
server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade your operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 7,
“Installing the operating system,” on page 57 and your operating-system documentation for
additional information.
Input/output connectors and devices
The input/output connectors available to your blade server are supplied by the SBCE unit. See the
documentation that comes with your SBCE unit for information about the input/output connectors.
The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the CD/diskette/USB select button
and the keyboard/mouse/video select button. See “Blade server controls and LEDs” on page 6 for
information about these buttons and their function.
The Ethernet controllers on your blade server communicate with the network through the Ethernet-
compatible switch modules on the SBCE unit. Network signals to and from the blade server or any
I/O expansion cards are automatically routed to a same-network-interface switch module through
circuitry in the SBCE unit.
