Milo, Well, that looks like a good blade style server. Is blade some kind of trade name, I see many people use it, but it may be a resricted crown? I see no mention of it here, or are these not true blade style boxes. Well, I looked it up. hot swap etc are needed for a bladed system. From www.hp.com Blade servers are comprehensive computing systems that include processor, memory, network connections, and associated electronics, all on a single motherboard called a blade. This high-density technology addresses the current trend among large computing centers to reduce space requirement while lowering their total cost of ownership and getting a higher return on their IT investments. The server blade, along with storage, networking and other blades, are typically installed in a rack-mountable enclosure that houses multiple blades that share common resources such as cabling, power supplies, and cooling fans. With its modular, hot-pluggable architecture, the easily accessible blade server offers increased computing density while ensuring both maximum scalability and ease of management. Bill
