information and update options are established according to bay number.
Reinstalling a blade server into a different 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 a blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you must
configure the blade server with the Configuration/Setup Utility and install the blade
server operating system. See "Updating your blade server configuration" and
Chapter 5, "Installing the operating system," on page 55 for details.

Updating your blade server configuration

When you start your blade server for the first time after you add or remove an
internal option or an external SCSI device (if the storage expansion unit has been
installed), a message might be displayed informing you that the configuration has

so that you can save the new configuration information. See "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 43 for more information about the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that
comes with the option for information about installing any required device drivers.

microprocessor, your blade server can now operate as an SMP server. Therefore,
you might have to upgrade your operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 5,
"Installing the operating system," on page 55 and your operating-system
documentation for additional information.
