whitepaper Selling Blade in a Cross Brand Environment2007-08-14 IBM
  The IBM Bladecenter was introduced in 2002. It was released at a time when computing requirements were growing and clients demanded a creative solution to address several issues - computing density, performance, cost and ease of manageability. IBM Bladecenter was positioned for this purpose and thus saw huge success, growing strong as the market leader for 13 consecutive quarters. The landscape today, however, has pretty much changed. It has become clear that what is defined in 2002 has fast become today's IT practices. Most clients today are familiar with blade technology and to add to that, all major vendors today have their own blade offering.   
whitepaper IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module Protected Mode2007-06-07 IBM
  Protected Mode (PM) is a feature of the IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM) to isolate management of the Cisco Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module (IGESM) from the AMM in the IBM BladeCenter. This feature is targeted at environments that have distinctly separate management teams for servers and networking, or where it is not desirable to permit the AMM to set or otherwise control certain attributes of the IGESM.   
whitepaper IBM BladeCenter Deployment Guide Part 1a - Advanced Management Module2007-05-17 IBM
  The paper is intended to present the general steps necessary to successfully deploy IBM blades in the IBM BladeCenter. Its primary focus is to detail the steps required for setting up remote boot on IBM Blades. Remote boot, root boot, or boot from SAN, is the name referred to the server configuration where the server operating system is installed on a logical drive that does not reside inside the server chassis. This paper will describe in detail the process that one must go through to setup a remote boot for IBM blade servers. The blade servers utilize the IBM BladeCenter Fibre Channel Expansion Card connected to the BladeCenter Fibre Channel Switch Modules via the BladeCenter backplane.

whitepaper HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade Linux Installation White Paper: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server2007-03-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  The BL860c server blade is a full-height server blade designed for the standard BladeSystem c-Class enclosure and slides into any open slot in the enclosure. Once added to the enclosure, the server blade should go to standby power. The server blade is at standby power if the health LED is amber. If the system health LED turns green and the fan noise gets louder, then the server blade has powered on automatically. The HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade introduces the advantages of HP Integrity servers to the HP BladeSystem c-Class series technology. This white paper describes how to install the supported Linux distributions on HP Integrity BL860c Server Blades.
