This may be (i do not know PC hardware at all), but not necessarily so. The two things. height and number of DIMM sockets are not related at all.

I hope that helps.

While I can't answer the question directly, whoever manages the blade servers should be able to say how each server is configured. You can then create files under /etc for example that list all of the relevant features of the configuration for that blade server. Then if you write shell scripts that need to know something about what kind of server they are running on you can figure that out by looking at the file you create under /etc.

Having said that regardless of whether or not a server is a full or half blade, you can figure out how much total memory, free memory, number of cores, free disk space, etc for each server. So if you have a script that will use resources depending on what resources are available, you might not need to know if it is a full or half blade server.

Thanks again to all of the responses....
