Valid combinations for the x3850 X6 for example, are:Two 44X4132 and two 44X4152Two 44X4132 and two 44X4150It is not recommended you mix the two 1400 W options (44X4152 for low altitude and 44X4150 forhigh altitude) as you will nullify the high-altitude capabilities of 44X4150.You cannot mix the AC power supplies with the DC power supplyUse the Power Configurator to determine exactly what power your server needs:http://ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/resources/powerconfig.htmlIntegrated virtualizationThe server supports VMware ESXi that is installed on a USB memory key.
