Installing a management module

The following illustration shows how to install a management module in a
BladeCenter unit. Your BladeCenter unit might differ from the illustrations in
this document.
When you install a management module, if the BladeCenter unit is not
connected to a DHCP server on the network, it takes up to 3 minutes for the
management module to use the default (static) IP address.
