Notes:

1. For details about the BladeCenter unit port specifications, see “Input/output

connectors” on page 26.

2. For information about which types of I/O modules can be installed in which

I/O-module bays, see “I/O modules” on page16.

3. 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

diskette drive. The BladeCenter unit uses USB for internal communication with

these devices.
