Introduction

The power supply modules, fan modules, Dell Remote Access

Controller/Modular Chassis (DRAC/MC), and I/O modules are shared

resources of the server modules in the chassis. The system may ship with an

optional external Universal Serial Bus (USB) diskette drive and an optional

external USB CD drive, which you can use to set up and configure the server

modules.
For information on supported cluster configurations, see "Cabling Your Blade

Cluster Hardware" on page 25. For a list of supported hardware and software

components, see the Platform Guide for your PowerEdge cluster solution

located on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

NOTE:

To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays must be populated with

either a server module or a blank prior to turning on the system.

for a cluster configuration:

• Server modules
• Gigabit Ethernet switch modules or Gigabit Ethernet pass-through

modules (based on your configuration)
