General System Configuration 5

General System Configuration

This guide provides information on configuring your system and the server modules in your system.

Additional information is available from additional sources. See "Other Documents You May Need"

on page 6.

Your system can include up to ten server modules (also known as "blades"). See Figure 1-1. Each

server module functions as an individual server encompassing up to two microprocessors, up to

two hard drives, and up to eight memory modules.

NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all server module bays must be populated at all times

with either a module or with a blank.

Figure 1-1. System Front View

To function as a system, a server module is inserted into an enclosure that supports power supplies,

fan modules, a management module (Dell™ Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis

[DRAC/MC]), a keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch module, and at least one I/O module for

network connectivity (see Figure 1-2.) The power supplies, fans, DRAC/MC, and I/O modules are

shared resources for the server modules in the enclosure. In addition, your system may also ship

with an optional external USB diskette drive and an optional external USB optical drive, which

you can use to set up and configure the server modules.

NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all module bays must be populated at all times with

either a module or with a blank.

General System Configuration 7

• The Baseboard Management Controller documentation provides detailed information on

using the BMC.

• The

Dell OpenManage Server Assistant User’s Guide

provides detailed information on the

systems management software applications, as well as information on alternative upgrade

paths.

• The network switch module documentation describes the features and how to use the

network switch modules.

• Systems management software documentation describes the features, requirements,

installation, and basic operation of the software.

• Operating system documentation describes how to install (if necessary), configure, and use

the operating system software.

• Documentation for any components you purchased separately provides information to

configure and install these options.

• Updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to the system, software,

and/or documentation.

NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com and read the updates first because they

often supersede information in other documents.

• Release notes or readme files may be included to provide last-minute updates to the system or

documentation or advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users or

technicians.

Initial Setup

Unpack the system and install it in a rack.

See the

Getting Started Guide

and

Rack Installation Guide

for more information.

Connect power to the power supplies.

NOTE: You should power up the enclosure prior to inserting server modules if Ethernet switch

modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server modules, which

may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully booted and ready

to send packets.

Connect the keyboard, video, and mouse to the KVM module.

Figure 1-3 shows the basic cabling configuration for a KVM module.

8General System Configuration

Figure 1-3. KVM Module Basic Configuration

If required, configure the hard drives for RAID 1 or integrated mirroring. Configure RAID 1

prior to installation of the operating system. See "Configuring Drive Mirroring" on page 9

for more information.

NOTE: If you ordered your server module configured for RAID 1, the drives in your server module

are already configured.

If required, set up console redirection on the server module to either the BMC or

to the DRAC/MC module serial port in the server module System Setup program.

See "Serial or Telnet Console Interface" on page 14.
