Warnings

These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the NovaScale Blade enclosure

cover to access components inside the system. Only a technically qualified person should

maintain or configure the blade system.

Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are

using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety

instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and

maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the

described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products /

components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and

will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which

the product is sold.

System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To

remove power from the blade system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall

outlet or the chassis. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the

chassis, add, or remove any components.

Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be

present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the blade system and

disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached

to the blade system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage

can result.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,

boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this document

only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by

wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface)

on your blade system when handling parts.

ESD and handling electronic devices: Always handle electronic devices carefully. They

can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Do not touch the connector contacts.

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips

over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your

fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a

tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the

narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides

can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the

function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or

other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.

Reinstalling enclosure cover: To protect internal components and for proper cooling and

airflow, the NovaScale Blade cannot be inserted into the NovaScale Blade Chassis unit

with the blade enclosure cover removed. Operating it without the enclosure cover in place

can damage system parts.

• Disk drive support

The NovaScale Blade B260/B280 supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor

(SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives.

• Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology

The NovaScale Blade B260/B280 supports up to two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon

processor microprocessors. Depending on the model, the NovaScale Blade comes

with either one or two microprocessors installed. In models that come with one

factory-installed microprocessor, an optional second microprocessor can be added.

• Integrated network support

The NovaScale Blade B260/B280 comes with two integrated Broadcom* BCM5708S

Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or

1000-Mbps network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the NovaScale

Blade Chassis unit. The controller supports Wake on LAN

6 NovaScale Blade B260/B280 Installation and User’s Guide

• Light path diagnostics

Light path diagnostics provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help you diagnose

problems. For more information, see the NovaScale Blade B260/B280 Hardware

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide.

• PCI Express

PCI Express is a fully serial interface that can be used for universal connectivity for

use as a chip-to-chip interconnect, I/O interconnect for adapters, and an I/O

attachment point to Gigabit-networking devices. PCI Express bridges a PCI Express

bus to a PCIX bus and converts the transactions on the PCI bus to transactions on the

PCIX bus. Using the expansion card connector you can add additional LAN

interfaces. The expansion card connector supports PCI-X 133 and bridges PCI

Express into PCI-X 133.

• Power throttling

Each NovaScale Blade is powered by two redundant power-supply modules. By

enforcing a power policy known as power domain oversubscription, the NovaScale

Blade Chassis unit can share the power load between two power modules to ensure

efficient power for each device in the NovaScale Blade Chassis unit. This policy is

enforced when the initial power is applied to the NovaScale Blade Chassis unit or

when a NovaScale Blade is inserted into the NovaScale Blade Chassis unit. You can

configure and monitor the power environment by using the management module. For

more information about configuring and using power throttling, contact your Support

representative.

2 Power, Controls, Jumpers,

Switches, and Indicators

This chapter describes the power features, how to turn on and turn off the NovaScale

Blade B260/B280, and what the controls and indicators mean. This chapter also identifies

the system-board connectors.

Turning on the NovaScale Blade B260/B280

After you connect the NovaScale Blade B260/B280 to power through the NovaScale

Blade Chassis unit, the NovaScale Blade can start in any of the following ways:

• You can press the power-control button on the front of the NovaScale Blade (behind

the control panel door, see “Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs” on page 10)

to start the NovaScale Blade.

Notes:

1. Wait until the power-on LED on the NovaScale Blade flashes slowly before pressing

the power-control button. While the service processor in the management module is

initializing, the power-on LED does not flash, and the power-control button on the

NovaScale Blade does not respond.

2. While the NovaScale Blade is starting, the power-on LED on the front of the

NovaScale Blade is lit. See “Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs” on page 10

for the power-on LED states.

• If a power failure occurs, the NovaScale Blade Chassis unit and then the NovaScale

Blade can start automatically when power is restored, if the NovaScale Blade is

configured through the management module to do so.

• You can turn on the NovaScale Blade remotely by using the management module.

• If the NovaScale Blade is connected to power (the power-on LED is flashing slowly),

the operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, and the Wake on LAN

feature has not been disabled through the management module, the Wake on LAN

feature can turn on the NovaScale Blade. However, the NovaScale Blade can only

receive the Wake on LAN command through the Ethernet ports that are integrated on

the system board, not through the Ethernet ports on an installed I/O expansion card.

10 NovaScale Blade B260/B280 Installation and User’s Guide

Turning off the NovaScale Blade B260/B280
