Chapter
1.
Introduction
The
IBM
®
BladeCenter
™
JS20
Type
8842,
also
known
as
the
blade
server,
is
based
on
the
IBM
POWER
™
architecture
technologies.
Your
blade-model
server
is
one
of
up
to
14
blade
servers
that
can
be
installed
in
the
IBM
Eserver
®
BladeCenter
™
Type
8677
(the
BladeCenter
unit).
This
high-performance
blade
server
is
well-suited
for
networking
environments
that
require
outstanding
microprocessor
performance,
efficient
memory
management,
flexibility,
and
reliable
data
storage.
Notes:
v
The
maximum
number
of
blade
servers
that
the
BladeCenter
unit
supports
varies
by
the
wattage
of
the
power
supplies
that
are
installed
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
For
more
information
about
determining
the
power
requirements
for
your
blade
server,

v
Two
power
modules
are
required
to
support
the
blade
servers
in
blade
bays
1
through
6
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
If
you
install
blade
servers
in
these
blade
bays,
you
must
install
power
modules
in
power-module
bays
1
and
2
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
v
Four
power
modules
are
required
to
support
the
blade
servers
in
blade
bays
7
through
14
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
If
you
install
blade
servers
in
these
blade
bays,
you
must
install
power
modules
in
power-module
bays
1
through
4
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
