NOTE: Before installing the Blade Link for BL870c i2, BL870c i4, BL890c i2, or
BL890c i4 server blades, make sure the following statements are true:
All blades have the same CPU SKUs.
All blades have the same hardware revision (only use BL860c i2, BL860c i4,
BL870c i2, BL870c i4, BL890c i2, or BL890c i4 Server Blades).
All blades have CPU0 installed.
All blades have the same firmware revision set.
All blades follow the memory loading rules for your configuration.
