Add X8400 Blade to 8000 P Chassis

The Sun Blade X8400 Server Module (blade) is supported in both the Sun Blade 8000 Chassis and the Sun Blade 8000 P Chassis. However, before you can install an X8400 Server Module into a Sun Blade 8000 P Chassis, you might need to attach an adapter to the blade.

The adapter kit is shipped with the Sun Blade 8000 P Chassis. The adapter parts include 10 screws and 10 adapter parts. These parts enable you to adapt 10 blades for the chassis.

For instructions on attaching the adapter to the Sun Blade X8400 Server Module, see Attach X8400 Blade Adapter.

There also are other conditions to assess before you move blades between different chassis. For information, see Network Considerations When Moving Blades Between Different Chassis.
