About Your System

System Overview

Your system can include up to 16 half-height blades (server modules), eight
full-height blades, or a mixture of the two blade types (see Figure 1-1,
Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3). To function as a system, a blade is inserted into a
enclosure (chassis) that supports power supplies, fan modules, a Chassis
Management Controller (CMC) module, and at least one I/O module for
external network connectivity. The power supplies, fans, CMC, optional
iKVM module, and I/O modules are shared resources of the blades in the
enclosure.
