3-1 Overview
This chapter covers the setup and installation of the blade module and its components.
3-2 Installing Blade Modules
Up to ten SBI-7125W-S6 blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure
(depending upon your enclosure and blad). Blade modules with Windows and Linux
operating systems may be mixed together in the same blade enclosure.
Powering Up a Blade Unit
Each blade unit may be powered on and off independently from the rest of the blades
installed in the same enclosure. A blade unit may be powered up in two ways:
• Press the power button on the blade unit.
• Use IPMIView or the web-browser based management utility to apply power using
either a CMM module, or by the use of an installed SIMBL add-on card in the blade
module.
Powering Down a Blade Unit
A blade unit may be powered down in either of five ways:
• Press the power button on the blade unit.
• Use IPMIView or the web-browser based management utility to power down (if you
have Operator or Admin privileges on the CMM).
• Use IPMItool when connected to the CMM to power down (if you have Operator or
Admin privileges on the CMM).
• Use IPMIview or a browser connected to the SIMBL card attached to the blade to
power down.
• Use IPMItool to use a Command Line Interface (CLI) to the SIMBL (if you have
Operator or Admin privileges).
Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure
Although the blade system may continue to run, individual blades should always be
powered down before removing them from the enclosure.
