Obtaining Technical Assistance

Your system can include up to ten server modules (or blades). Each server module functions as an individual server encompassing up to two microprocessors,

up to two hot-pluggable hard drives, and up to six memory modules (see Figure1-1). To function as a system, a server module is inserted into a chassis that

supportspowersupplies,fanmodules,amanagementmodule(Dell™RemoteAccessController/ModularChassis[DRAC/MC]),aKVMswitchmodule,andat

least one I/O module for network connectivity. The power supplies, fans, DRAC/MC, and I/O modules are shared resources of the server modules in the

chassis. In addition, your system may also ship with an optional external USB diskette drive and an optional external USB CD drive, which you can use to set

up and configure the server modules.

Figure 1-1. System Overview

This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system and provides information about the indicators on the system's front and back

panels. It also provides information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance.

System Status Features

The chassis has front-panel control features including power and identification buttons and indicators (see Figure1-2). Press the power button to turn on the

system; press and hold the power button to turn off the system. Pressing the identification button activates the identification indicator on both the front and

back (on the KVM module) of the system. Table1-1 shows the status features.

Figure 1-2. Front-Panel Control and Indicators

NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays must be populated at all times with either a server module or with a blank.

Table 1-1.SystemStatusFeatures

Server Module Features

Each server module has one power button and one KVM module selection button on the front (see Figure1-3). The indicators include a power indicator,

network link indicators, and a KVM module indicator. The server module also has a custom port on the front of the module. Use the custom cable included with

your system to connect this port to two USB devices (for example, USB diskette drive, USB CD drive, USB mouse) and to video.
