Installing and removing blade servers
Your BladeCenter unit supports up to 14 high-performance blade servers. Each
blade server is an enclosure that contains microprocessors, memory, a control chip
set, an I/O bus, Ethernet controllers, hard disk drives, and customer interface
controls, and connectors for expansion options. The blade server receives its
power, network connection, and I/O devices (CD-ROM and diskette drives,
keyboard, mouse, and video ports, USB port, remote monitoring port) from the
BladeCenter unit, reducing the server physical size and reducing the number of
cables needed.
Blade server expansion options
Some blade servers contain connectors for options that add capabilities to the blade
server. You can add these options before installing the blade server in the
BladeCenter unit.

available options for your IBM blade server.
