IBM BladeCenter HS22 User Manual

Updating the blade server configuration
Use this information to update the blade server configuration.
When the blade server starts for the first time after you add or remove an internal
device, you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Setup
utility automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration settings. See
“Using the Setup utility” on page 56 for more information about the Setup utility.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation
that comes with each device for information about installing device drivers.
The blade server operates as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server, regardless
of how many microprocessors are installed. For optimum performance, you must
upgrade the operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 5, “Installing the
operating system,” on page 69 and your operating-system documentation for
additional information.
Input/output connectors and devices
Use this information to locate the input/output connectors and devices.
The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by
the BladeCenter unit. See the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit
for information about the input/output connectors.
The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the media tray
select button and the keyboard/video/mouse select button. See “Blade server
controls and LEDs” on page 15 for information about these buttons and their
functions.
The Ethernet controllers on the blade server communicate with the network
through the Ethernet-compatible I/O modules in the BladeCenter unit. Network
signals to and from the blade server or any expansion cards are automatically
routed to a same-network-interface I/O module through circuitry in the
BladeCenter unit.
