Blade Enclosure Inter Connect
If more than one Blade Enclosures are mounted in a single rack, connecting the UPPER port, a
connector on the rear face of a Blade Enclosure, to the LOWER port, a connector on the rear face of
the Blade Enclosure just above, and the LOWER port, another connector on the rear face, to the
UPPER port, a connector on the rear face of the Blade Enclosure just below, through LAN cables
(straight) allows the EM cards to share the rack name and its unique ID among the connected blade
enclosures.
The EM cards can read the status information of the Blade Enclosures and display the information
on Web consoles.
The Rack Information screen on a Web console has the link of each connected Blade Enclosure to
the Web console.
When the same user name and password are set for all the Web consoles, you can automatically log
in to any Web console through the link to the Web console. See Chapter 4 for details of the Web
console.
When rack maximum power consumption management is used (that is, the "Rack Power Limit" is
specified), the Rack Information screen of Web console shows the upper limit of input power for the
overall racks and the upper limit of power consumption allocated for each Blade Enclosure.
Power linkage feature is applied to all over the Blade Enclosures connected with each other.
