In migrating a system with Appliance Server from a release less than 8.0, check that it has 1 GB of
memory. Otherwise, additional memory has to be ordered through an IBM reseller and installed on
the Appliance Server.
• IBM X306: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/xbc/cog/Withdrawn/x306/x306mem.html

In a standard installation of an IBM X3250 M2, the following message is displayed. It states that any
hard disk larger than 80 GB will not be used to its real capacity.

The installation continues automatically after a timeout.
An UPS is mandatory to secure the system against abnormal stops because of power failure (risk to
crash the hard disk).
The UPS MGE Evolution 1250 is appeared in Release 8.0.
The UPS is used to make up for the short cuts of the power supply. If the UPS arrives at the end of
the battery, it tries to notify the Call Server / CPU to which its USB cable is connected. In the event of
a long time of power supply cut, it is necessary to stop the Call Server with the shutdown
command.
2.3. Blade Center
− Access to the management of Blade Center is made either via Lan, or by a console, keyboard
connected locally.
In addition, The Module of management (MM) offers the possibility to reach blades servers by a
serial port emulation via the LAN
This feature, called Serial Over Lan (SOL), is available from Release 7.1.
− If the encryption is enabled on a duplicated Blade Server configuration, IP Touch sets can reset
after a CPU switch-over.

− CPU7-2 board is available only from Release 7.1. The use of a hard disk containing another
version on one of its partitions is prohibited. Any hard disk coming from another CPU must
imperatively have on its two partitions a Release 7.1 installed or will have to be formatted in
