10 Introduction
The power supply modules, fan modules, Dell Remote Access
Controller/Modular Chassis or Chassis Management Enclosure (DRAC/MC
or CMC), and I/O modules are shared resources of the server modules in the
chassis. The system may ship with an optional external Universal Serial Bus
(USB) diskette drive and an optional external USB CD drive, which you can
use to set up and configure the server modules.
For information on supported cluster configurations, see "Cabling Your Blade
Cluster Hardware" on page 25. For a list of supported hardware and software
components, see the Support Matrix at dell.com.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays must be populated with
either a server module or a blank prior to turning on the system.
The PowerEdge server enclosure includes the following hardware components
for a cluster configuration:
•Server modules
• Ethernet switch modules or Ethernet pass-through modules (based on
your configuration)
NOTE: Throughout this document, Ethernet switch modules refer to either Gigabit
or 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch modules and Ethernet pass-through modules refer to
either Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet pass-through modules.
• Fibre Channel switch modules or Fibre Channel pass-through modules
(based on your configuration)
