If this is the initial installation for a blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you must
configure the blade server with the blade server Configuration/Setup Utility and
install the blade server operating system. See "Updating your blade server
configuration" and the IBM Eserver BladeCenter HS40 Type 8839 Installation and
User's Guide 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 external SCSI device (if the storage expansion unit has been
installed), you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The
blade server Configuration/Setup Utility program starts automatically so that you can
save the new configuration settings. For more information, see "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 11.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that

Note: Reinstall the bezel assembly on the BladeCenter T unit after you have
finished turning on the blades. However, if you installed an option such
as a PCI I/O Expansion Unit with PCI adapters that require cables, you
will not be able to install the bezel assembly, which contains an air filter
for the BladeCenter T unit. If you cannot install the bezel assembly, a
filter must be provided on the rack. See the IBM Eserver BladeCenter
T Planning and Installation Guide for information about installing an air
filter on the rack (you can obtain the planning guide from
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/).
