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

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
