Datasheet

Cable orders: Each BladeCenter H Chassis contains one
or two management modules with Ethernet connections.
The RJ-45 connectors provides a 10/100 Base-T interface
(at either half or full duplex) for connecting twisted-pair
cable to an Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with
the BladeCenter. To connect the management modules
to a repeater or switch, use an unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100
Mbps operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For
10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or better, cabling must
be used.
Each BladeCenter H Chassis can contain several switch
modules which have cabling requirements of their own,
none of which is included with the BladeCenter.
Installability: The BladeCenter H Chassis requires
approximately 30 minutes for installation. Installation
includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the
system. Additional time is required to install an operating
system, additional options, or features.

Security, auditability, and control
Security and auditability features include:
• A logon password provides control of who has access
to the management module (and hence management
access to any switch modules and blade servers
installed in the chassis).
Limitations: The BladeCenter H Chassis has no security
intrusion detection; therefore, it should be installed in a
rack environment that provides security through lockable
doors or other security measures. It is a customer′s
responsibility to ensure that the chassis is secure.
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and
implementation of security features, administrative
procedures, and appropriate controls in application
systems and communications facilities.
IBM Electronic Services
IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of
hardware and software support services to put you on the
road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic
Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides you with
an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the
service and support on the IBM . You should
benefit from greater system availability due to faster
problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM
Electronic Services is comprised of two separate, but
complementary, elements: IBM Electronic Services news
page and IBM Electronic Service Agent
 .
IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a
single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry
points traditionally used by customers to access IBM
Internet services and support. The news page enables
you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance
in resolving technical problems.
The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge
software that resides on your IBM system. It is
designed to proactively monitor events and transmit
system inventory information to IBM on a periodic,
customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service
Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error logs, and
performance information. If the server is under a current
IBM maintenance service agreement or within the IBM
warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports
hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about
potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive
service that maintains higher system availability and
performance. In addition, information collected through
the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service
support representatives when they are helping answer
your questions or diagnosing problems.
