Note: BladeCenter Chassis can provide increased density per rack over standalone 1U servers by housing multiple
blades in less rack space. BladeCenter solutions increase usability and reduce complexity by providing
common sourcing for blade servers, cabling, cabling connections, I/O options, power modules, system
management requirements (optional adapters and external cabling), external Fibre Channel storage switching
and connectivity, and network management and expansion.
