5 Cable orders: Each BladeCenter H Chassis contains one or two management modules with Ethernet connections. The RJ-45 connectors provides a 0/00 Base-T interface (at either half or full duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to an Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the BladeCenter. To connect the management modules to a repeater or switch, use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 00 Mbps operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 0 Mbps operation, Category 3, or better, cabling must be used. Each BladeCenter H Chassis can contain several switch modules which have cabling requirements of their own, none of which is included with the BladeCenter. Installability: The BladeCenter H Chassis requires approximately 30 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install an operating system, additional options, or features.
