How to Make a Server Blade
A server blade is a server component that connects to your blade server enclosure. Blade server enclosures, along with the server blades, connect to your network. This connects to your local network so that you can set up file, Web or other localized servers. Various hardware manufacturers produce the capabilities to build a blade server. Therefore, setting up a server blade will differ for each manufacturer. The overall process is generally similar, so these instructions will give you a useful overview of building your server blade.
