Features and specifications

Use this table to view specific information about the blade server, such as, blade server hardware features and the dimensions of the blade server.

Notes
  1. Power, cooling, removable-media drives, external ports, and advanced system management are provided by the BladeCenter® unit.
  2. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and use the removable-media drives. The BladeCenter unit uses USB for internal communications with these devices.

The following table is a summary of the features and specifications of the blade server.
