Updating The Blade Server Configuration; Input/Output Connectors And Devices - Intel SBXD132 - Server Compute Blade Installation And User Manual

8. Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade server control panel is lit continuously,
indicating that the blade server is receiving power and is turned on.
9. If you have other blade servers to install, do so now.
If you reinstall a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same blade bay
from which you removed it. Some blade server configuration information and update
options are established according to bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a
different blade bay from the one from which it was removed could have unintended
consequences, and you might have to reconfigure the blade server.
If this is the initial installation for the blade server in the SBCE unit, you must configure
the blade server through the Configuration/Setup Utility program and install the blade
server operating system. See
Chapter 7, "Installing the Operating System"

Updating the Blade Server Configuration

When the blade server starts for the first time after you add or remove an internal option,
you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup
Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration settings.
See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 57
about the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes
with each option for information about installing device drivers.
The blade server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one microprocessor
is installed, the blade server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server.
You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. See
"Installing the Operating System"
additional information.

Input/output Connectors and Devices

The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by the
SBCE unit. See the documentation that comes with the SBCE unit for information about
the input/output connectors.
The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the media tray select
button and the keyboard/video/mouse select button. See
and LEDs" on page 10
The Ethernet controllers on the blade server communicate with the network through the
Ethernet-compatible I/O modules on the SBCE unit. Network signals to and from the
blade server or any expansion cards are automatically routed to a same-network-interface
I/O module through circuitry in the SBCE unit.
