The number of HS22 servers supported in each chassis depends on the thermal design power of the
processors used in the servers, as shown in Table 5. The table uses the following conventions:
A green cell means the chassis can be filled with HS22 blade servers up to the maximum number of
blade bays in the chassis (for example, 14 blades in the BladeCenter H).
A yellow cell means that the maximum number of HS22 blades that the chassis can hold is fewer than
the total available blade bays (for example, 12 in a BladeCenter H). Other bays in the chassis
may
or
may not
be occupied by servers other than HS22 and HS22V depending on the combination and
some bays must remain empty. Consult the BladeCenter Interoperability Guide for specifics:

Note: The HS22 is not supported in the BladeCenter E with power supplies smaller than 2000 W.
