3. Blade
Lab set-up: Hi-end lab with all infrastructure has been System Test : Regression and
complete functional, performance
set-up at ODC. Bring-up and Testing work of blade and stress testing in various areas
servers are being carried out from this facility. like BIOS, Storage and I/O
interconnects, Management
interfaces, RAS testing and
compliance testing.
Systems Driver Integration:
Driver integration, validation and
release for different OS and FW
driver releases.
Systems Integration: Involved
extensively in bring-up and
integration from Power-on,
Hardware bring-up. OS bring-up
and Stability testing.
Firmware development:
Involved in the development of Blade Compliance and Interoperability Testing:
IPMI, Management Module & BMC
application development. Working with Blades.org for set-up of C&I lab
