The PRIMERGY BX400 S1 system unit has slots for two redundant, hot-swap management blades with an integrated management solution for complete remote administration of the system. The basic configuration of the BX400 S1 system unit contains one management blade.

The management blades offer user-friendly user interfaces: a Web interface and a console menu interface via Telnet protocol. For a detailed description, see the manual "PRIMERGY BX400 Blade Server Systems ServerView Management Blade S1 User Interface Description".

The slots for the management blades are located on the back of the system unit (see figure 8 on page 49).

A management blade is installed and removed in the same way as a connection blade (see "Installing a connection blade" on page 112).

VCAUTION!

After installing the management blade, it is necessary to update the management blade firmware. Use for the update the management blade web interface, see "PRIMERGY BX400 Blade Server Systems ServerView Management Blade S1 User Interface Description".

When two management blades are installed, make sure that both management blades (master/slave) have the same firmware version.
