Chapter 1: Introduction
Storage
The MBI-6218G-T41X MicroBlade module has two 2.5" SATA3 HDD/SSD drives
internally mounted for storage or for installation of the blade’s operating system (one per
node). See Chapter 3: " Setup and Installation" on page 3-1 for storage installation
details.
RAID
The MBI-6218G-T41X MicroBlade module supports up to two drives, but only one per
node, so RAID is NOT supported.
Density
A maximum of twenty-eight blade modules may be installed into a single blade
enclosure. Each blade enclosure is a 6U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may
accommodate up to seven enclosures with 196 blade modules or the equivalent of 196
1U servers. With the inclusion of up to fourteen CMM modules and up to twenty-eight
Gigabit Ethernet switches this would occupy up to 238U space in a conventional 1U
server configuration.
BMC Password
For security, each blade unit is assigned a unique default BMC password for the ADMIN
user. It can be found on a sticker on the blade service tab, and a sticker on the
motherboard. The sticker also displays the BMC MAC address. For more information,
