Density

A maximum of fourteen blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure.
Each blade enclosure is a 7U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may accommodate up
to six enclosures with eighty-four blade modules, or the equivalent of eighty-four 1U
servers. With the inclusion of six CMM modules, twelve Gigabit Ethernet switches and
six InfiniBand switches, this would occupy up to 132U space in a conventional 1U server
configuration.
Figure 1-1 displays a view of a full rack with six blade enclosures in it, each with
fourteen blades to an enclosure.
