T 8730
Notes:
1. The Management Module incorporates a chassis-level management processor and dual
Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switches. No external KVM switching is required. Installation of
additional Management Module will require additional power supplies.
2. A maximum of four I/O switches can be installed in the rear of the system. A maximum of four Gbit
Ethernet switches or a maximum of two Gbit Ethernet switches and two-fiber channel switches can be
installed. The minimum system configuration requires one Gbit Ethernet switch to be installed.
3. Supports up to 8 single-wide blade servers. Additional power supplies are required to maintain full
redundancy beyond 4 blade servers.
Notes:
1. Due to limited power availability some higher power models require installation at lower densities.
