IBM BladeCenter HX5 14The number of HX5 servers supported in each chassis depends on the thermal design power of theprocessors used in the HX5 servers (Table 7), which uses the following conventions:A green square in a cell means that the chassis can be filled with HX5 blade servers up to themaximum number of blade bays in the chassis (for example, 14 blades in the BladeCenter H).A yellow square in a cell means that the maximum number of HX5 blades that the chassis can hold isfewer than the total available blade bays (for example, 12 in a BladeCenter H).All other bays mustremain empty. Empty bays must be distributed evenly between the two power domains of the chassis(for BladeCenter H, bays 1 - 6 and bays 7 - 14).Table 7.
