When first initialized, the Onboard Administrator programs the mezzanine cards on the server blades
during discovery. After the mezzanine cards are programmed, powering up the enclosure takes only 1 to
2 minutes.
The enclosure and the Insight Display now have power. Configure the enclosure using the Insight Display.
HP BladeSystem enclosure DC power configuration
For telco or other environments that have -48V DC available, DC-powered HP BladeSystem enclosures
can be purchased through the HP Configure To Order process. Existing enclosures can be converted from
an AC power source to -48V DC by replacing the input module and all the power supplies.
For more information on converting an enclosure from AC to DC, see the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem).
