BladeCenter S provides: • A choice of installation methods — Designed for either rack or deskside use with the optional Office Enablement Kit, it’s ideal for office s or remote/branch locations. • Integrated compute blades, SAN storage, and switches in one chassis — In addition to six blade serv ers , the BladeCenter S also support s 12 s[...]

/ 1400W high-efficiency hot-swap/redundant po wer modules (upgradeable to four ), capable of handling the power needs of the entire cha ssis. Many servers use pow er supplies with an efficiency leve l of approxim ately 65-75%. Because BladeCenter S uses power supplies that are at least 90% efficient , much less power is w asted as heat. Not only is[...]

come standard with the chassis. They are capable of providing efficient cooling for up to 14 blades . These modules replace the need for each bl ade to contain its o wn fans. The two blowers are more energy efficient than dozens or hun dreds of smaller fans would be, and they offer many fewer points of potential f ailure. • Four module bays for P[...]

modules interface w ith all of the blade servers in the ch assis and alleviate the need for external switches or expensiv e, cum bersome, and error-prone cabling. All connections are done internally via the midplane. Two module slots are reserved for hot-sw ap/redundant Gigabit Ethernet swit ch modules. Two slots support either high-speed bridge mo[...]
