System Features This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system. It also provides information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance. System Enclosure Features The M1000e system enclosure (chassis) includes the following features: Scalability Features • Support for up to 16 half-height or 8 full-height blades (server modules).
Systems Management Features • A Chassis Management Controller (CMC), which provides several essential systems management features: – Enclosure-level power management and thermal management: • The CMC monitors system power requirements and supports the optional Dynamic Power Supply Engagement mode so that the CMC can enable or place power supplies in standby dynamically, depending on load and redundancy requirements, to improve power efficiency. • The CMC reports real-time power consumption.
optional second, redundant CMC, and provides a 10/100/1000-Mb connection to the external management network. NOTE: The 24-port Ethernet switch is reserved for internal communication between the iDRAC on the blades to the CMC, then to the external management network. A second, optional CMC can be installed for hot-plug failover redundancy. • An enclosure control panel that includes an LCD display which provides current infrastructure and blade information, and error reporting.
Blade Features Performance Features PowerEdge M905 • Four AMD™ Opteron™ 8000 Series dual-core or quad-core processors. • A minimum of 8 GB of 677 MHz DDR2 memory modules, upgradable to a maximum of 192 GB by installing pairs of 1-GB, 2-GB, 4-GB, or 8-GB modules in the 24 memory module sockets on the blade system board. The blade also supports memory sparing if eight or sixteen memory module sockets are populated with identical memory modules.
PowerEdge M605 • One or two AMD Opteron 2000 Series dual-core or quad-core processors. • A minimum of 1 GB of 677-MHz or 800-MHz DDR2 memory modules, upgradable to a maximum of 64 GB by installing pairs of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, 4-GB, or 8-GB modules in the eight memory module sockets on the blade system board. The blade also supports memory sparing. Common Features • The PowerEdge M805 and M905 blades support one or two 2.5 inch SAS hard drives.
The following software is included with your system: • A System Setup program for quickly viewing and changing system configuration information. For more information on this program, see "Using the System Setup Program" in your Hardware Owner’s Manual. • Enhanced security features, including a system password and a setup password, available through the System Setup program. • System diagnostics for evaluating system components and devices.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AS and ES (version 5) (ia32) • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AS, ES, and WS (version 5) and EM64T • SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64) with SP3 and EM64T • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64) and EM64T • VMWare® ESX 3.1 • VMWare ESX 3.5 Other Information You May Need CAUTION: See the safety and regulatory information that shipped with your system. Warranty information may be included within this document or as a separate document.
• 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. Obtaining Technical Assistance If you do not understand a procedure in this guide or if the system does not perform as expected, see your Hardware Owner’s Manual. Dell Enterprise Training and Certification is available; see dell.com/training for more information.
Install the Blades Beginning at the top, slide the modules into the enclosure from left to right. When the blade is securely installed, the handle returns to the closed position.
Connect the CMC and KVM Modules Connect the serial cable and network cable from the management system to the CMC module. If a second, optional CMC module is installed, connect it as well. (If your chassis was shipped with M805 or M905 blades pre-installed, the included CMC firmware will be version 1.2 or greater.) Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the optional iKVM module. Connect the System to Power Connect the system’s power cables to the system power supplies.
Turn on the System Press the power button on the enclosure. The power indicator should light.
Turn on the Blades Press the power button on each blade, or power on the blades using the systems management software. Complete the 0perating System Setup If you purchased a preinstalled operating system, see the operating system documentation that ships with your system. To install an operating system for the first time, see the Quick Installation Guide. Be sure the operating system is installed before installing hardware or software not purchased with the system.
