After replacing the system board and server blades:
IMPORTANT: Replacement server blades are shipped with the RAID controller in HBA mode by
default. If the server blade RAID controller was in RAID mode before replacement, you must change
the mode using the saupdate utility before booting the OS. See “Configuring a Smart Array
Controller” (page 133) for instructions on using the saupdate utility.
• Be sure that that the firmware on all conjoined blades matches (“Determining your current
firmware revisions” (page 68)).

MP/iLO 3 TUI (CLI).
Blade Link
Conjoining server blades using the Blade Link enables four (BL870c i2) and eight (BL890c i2)
socket server blade variants.
In a conjoined configuration, one of the BL860c i2 Server Blades becomes the master blade, also
referred to as the Monarch blade. The Monarch server blade is in the lowest numbered enclosure
bay, communication to the conjoined server blade is done through the Monarch blade.
Conjoined configurations can be upgraded after the initial installation, see “Upgrading a conjoined
configuration” (page 66) for more information on server blade upgrades.
Each Blade Link includes a trap door for the label carrier. To access the label carrier:
