How to know full width blade or half width blade?
HI,

How do we figure out if the server is half blade server or full blade server?

Anything we need to look at to know on this?


thanks in advance

First question is what hardware is this? Manufacturer?

In your title you use the expression "half width" and "full width" blade. AFAIK only CISCO use that terminology. I might be wrong on that though.

Server blades are usually half-height or full-height.

So what make of kit are we talking?

Lets say the server is - HP ProLiant BL620c Generation 7 (G7); how do we know if its half blade or full blade?

I am also confused.
Although blade server size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, blade servers are characterized as full height or half height. The height aspect refers to how much space a blade server occupies within a chassis.
Thus, this is not a unix question as much as a question that should be directed to the manufacturer - in this case, HP.

joeyg is correct - size of the chassis and how much rack space it uses are the criteria.

HP calls it the form factor and all blades seem to have the same form factor?

Thanks all for the response. This makes sense now.. and I believe the memory/DIMMs will also be different in both case then. Half will have less and full have more.
