5. In a rack installation, you can lock the chassis front bezel using a Kensington lock
on each side of the chassis. In a cabinet installation, use a locking front door to
secure the chassis and blades.
Since the R2200 is a double-slot blade, it needs to be installed in the correct slot pair.
Install double-slot blades only in slots 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, or 7&8.
NOTE: The very first time you insert the PC blade, the power does NOT turn on
automatically. You must depress the power button on the front of the blade to
power it on.
Blades have three options for power state after AC power recovery. AC power failure
could mean either the whole chassis losing power and recovering, or just unplugging
and plugging a blade back in. The three options are:
• Power On – After power is reapplied, the blade powers up and stays on.
•Stay Off – After power is reapplied, the blade stays off
• Last State – After power is reapplied, the blade returns to the power state that it
had when the power was lost. For example, if the blade was off when it was power
was lost, it stays off; if the blade was on when power was lost, it turns on and
stays on.
The default power settings for the R1300 and R2200 are Power On.
NOTE: If the user last turned the blade off by holding down the power button for 4
seconds, the blade will only power back on by a subsequent power button
press, regardless of the power recovery state.
When a blade is inserted into a chassis, it takes approximately 30 seconds for the
chassis and its RMM to detect the blade and relay its information to Sentral.
Note that the blue LCD panel and the C/Port indicator remain lit, independently of
whether the blade is powered on. These indicators run off of chassis power. After the
first on/off cycle, you can power the blade back on from the shutdown state by either
pushing the power button on the blade or the Reset/Power button on the C/Port.
Connecting Ethernet Cables
R1350 Video Options and Ethernet Port Behavior
The R1350 provides two Ethernet ports that correspond to the primary and secondary
Ethernet jacks on a chassis. Your graphics card configuration determines the
behavior of the R1350 Ethernet ports.
• V5120 Dual Host card—R1350 blades with V5120 graphics cards enable you to
connect to I9420 I/Ports or C7420 C/Ports through the secondary Ethernet port.
The primary port provides gigabit Ethernet.
• Quadro4 PCI-Express card and GMA 950 integrated graphics—R1350 blades
using either of these graphics options provide two independent network
connections. The primary Ethernet controller provides gigabit Ethernet. The
secondary Ethernet provides 10/100 Ethernet. The dual Ethernet ports on the
R1350 are accessible as follows:
– 16-port EP6 module in R4300 chassis—All ports are available. The primary
ports on the blade are connected to the corresponding primary ports on the
EP6, and the secondary ports on the blade are connected to the
