Density
A maximum of ten blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure with
two nodes. Each blade enclosure is a 7U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may
accommodate up to six enclosures with 60 blade modules. With the inclusion of six
CMM modules, twelve Gigabit Ethernet switches and twelve 10G or InfiniBand switches,
this would occupy up to 84U space in a conventional 1U dual processor server
configuration.
