Hi everyone,

I picked up a POWER7 based IBM PS700 blade. I know that people have made HP Bladesystem blades run outside of a chassis but has anyone ever done the same with a Bladecenter one? According to the documentation it has no onboard video nor a serial port. It's meant to be managed via SOL (Serial over LAN). There are a few unidentified headers on the board but I have no idea what they're for.blade1.jpgblade2.jpgblade3.jpg
