*Point out that once you disperse you are committed to the configuration.

Dispersed System Bays
• Up to 25 meters of
physical dispersion
• Engines are populated in a
specific order to maintain
serviceability
• Once dispersed, any
additional Engines will be
added in the second

Remote Service Terminal in Dispersed System Bay
2
• Connect to the primary
Service Processor from a
dispersed system bay via
Remotely Anywhere
• Eliminates the need to
travel to the primary
system bay while running
scripts
• 1U servers are identical
in hardware but run
different software images
