General System Configuration 5

General System Configuration

This guide provides information on configuring your system and the server modules in your system.

Additional information is available from additional sources. See "Other Documents You May

Need."

Your system can include up to ten server modules (also known as "blades"). See Figure 1-1. Each

server module functions as an individual server encompassing up to two microprocessors, up to two

hard drives, and up to six memory modules.

NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all server module bays must be populated at all times

with either a module or with a blank.

Figure 1-1. System Front View

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 keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch module, and at least one I/O module for

network connectivity (see Figure 1-2.) The power supplies, fans, DRAC/MC, and I/O modules are

shared resources for 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.

General System Configuration 7

• The Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User’s Guide provides detailed

information on using the remote management features of the system.

• The

Dell OpenManage Server Assistant User’s Guide

provides detailed information on the

systems management software applications, as well as information on alternative upgrade

paths.

• The network switch module documentation describes the features and how to use the

network switch modules.

• Systems management software documentation describes the features, requirements,

installation, and basic operation of the software.

• Operating system documentation describes how to install (if necessary), configure,

and use the operating system software.

• Documentation for any components you purchased separately provides information to

configure and install these options.

• Updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to the system, software,

and/or documentation.

NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com and read the updates first because they

often supersede information in other documents.

• Release notes or readme files may be included to provide last-minute updates to the system

or documentation or advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users

or technicians.

Initial Setup

Unpack the system and install it in a rack.

See the

Getting Started Guide

and

Rack Installation Guide

for more information.

Connect power to the power supplies.

NOTE: Dell recommends that you power up the chassis prior to inserting server modules if

Ethernet switch modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server

modules, which may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully

booted and ready to send packets.

Connect the keyboard, video, and mouse to the KVM module.

Figure 1-3 shows the basic cabling configuration for a KVM module.

Figure 1-3. KVM Module Basic Configuration

If required, configure the hard drives for RAID 1 or integrated mirroring. It is recommended

that you configure RAID 1 prior to installation of the operating system. See "Configuring

Drive Mirroring With PERC 4/im Integrated RAID" for more information.

NOTE: If you ordered your server module configured for RAID 1 from Dell, then your server module

is already configured.

If required, set up console redirection on the server module to either the BMC or to the

DRAC/MC module serial port in the server module System Setup program. See "Enabling

and Configuring the DRAC/MC to Use a Serial or Telnet Console."

NOTICE: To prevent possible network disruptions, ensure that you assign a static IP address, IP subnet

mask, and gateway to the BMC before connecting to the network. The assigned static BMC address

must match the LOM_1 address of one of the server modules. For more information on configuring and

using the BMC, see "Assigning a Static Address to the BMC."
