Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM
®
ERserver BladeCenter
™
HS40 Type 8839 blade server is based on the
IBM Enterprise X-Architecture
™
technologies
1
.
Your HS40 blade server is a double-width blade-model server and can be installed
in an IBM Eserver BladeCenter Type 8677 unit or IBM Eserver BladeCenter T
Types 8720 and 8730 units.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, references to the BladeCenter unit also apply to the
BladeCenter T unit.
A combination of single-width HS20 blade servers and double-width HS40 blade
servers can be installed in the same BladeCenter unit. These high-performance
blade servers are ideally suited for networking environments that require superior
microprocessor performance, efficient memory management, flexibility, and reliable
data storage.
This Installation and User’s Guide provides information for:
v Setting up the blade server
v Starting and configuring the blade server
v Installing options
v Installing the operating system
v Performing basic troubleshooting of the blade server
Packaged
with the Installation and User’s Guide are software CDs that help you to
configure hardware, install device drivers, and install the operating system. To
download the latest device drivers, go to the IBM Support Web site at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
The blade server comes with a limited warranty. For information about your
warranty, see Appendix B, “IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-07
11/2002,” on page 79. You can obtain up-to-date information about your
BladeCenter HS40 Type 8839 model and IBM xSeries
®
server products at
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/xseries/.
You can register the blade servers at http://www.ibm.com/pc/register/.
Record information about your BladeCenter HS40 blade server in the following
table.

The model number and serial number are on the ID label that is behind the control
panel door on the front of the blade server, and on a label on the left side of the
blade server that is visible when the blade server is not in the BladeCenter unit. You
will need these numbers when you register your blade server with IBM.
Your BladeCenter HS40 blade server will have one of the bezels shown in the
following illustration.

A set of user labels comes with the blade server. When you install the blade server
in the BladeCenter unit, write identifying information on a label and place the label
on the BladeCenter unit bezel.

Environment
(NEBS):
v Air temperature:
– Blade server on: 5° to 40°C (41°
to 104°F). Altitude: -60 to 1800 m
(-197 to 6000 ft)
– Blade server on (short term): -5°
to 55°C (23° to 131°F) Altitude:
-60 to 1800 m (-197 to 6000 ft)
– Blade server on: 5° to 30°C (41°
to 86°F). Altitude: 1800 to 4000 m
(6000 to 13 000 ft)
– Blade server on (short term): -5°
to 45°C (23° to 113°F). Altitude:
1800 to 4000 m (6000 to 13 000
ft)
– Blade server off: -40° to 70°C
(-40° to 158°F)
v
Humidity:
– Blade server on: 5% to 80%
– Blade server on (short term): 5%
to 90% but not to exceed 0.024
kg water/kg of dry air
– Blade server off: uncontrolled
Note:
″Short term″ refers to a period
of not more than 96 consecutive hours
and a total of not more than 15 days in
1 year. (This refers to a total of 360
hours in any given year, but no more
than 15 occurrences during that 1-year
period.)
Notes:
1. You might have to enable large-memory support for your operating system to
access all of the memory that is installed in your blade server. See the
documentation for your operating system for information.
2. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the
blade server to recognize and use the keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM drive, and an
external diskette drive. The BladeCenter T unit uses USB for internal
communications with these devices.
