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.
