Up to 16 1 slot IA-32 server blades can be inserted in the bh7800 chassis. The 1 slot, 1way IA-32 blade server
is a self-contained system. It includes all memory, processor, firmware, I/O adapters, and core I/O required to
install the operating system. The board is CompactPCI and hot plug compliant and operates as a
CompactPCI master in the host slot. It is also Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) compliant.
Some I/O connections will be driven through the backplane and some local connections will be available from
the front panel.
A daughter board known as the Remote Management Card (RMC) provides LAN-based system console access
as well as remote system management functions. LAN-based access to the system console via Telnet is
provided to initially configure parameters stored in firmware on the blade. Remote system management
functions include power, reboot and inventory control.
