Hi just trying to understand more about blades and enclosures as far as i understand you have enclosure's which provides Power/Cooling to the blades and the blades connect/slide into to the Enclosure using the Mid plane.The blades themselves hardware wise have Mobo/CPU/Memory/SAS or SATA Hard disks/Optical drive ?? do they have any other hardware ? eg NIC, RAID Controller?
What confuses me is how does networking work on Blades/Enclosures ? is there a RJ45 port on the back of the enclosure for each NIC on each blade? which a cat5/6 connects to the Central connecting device (Switch) ??
I have also heard terms lilke Virtual connect / Flex 10 mentioned what are these?
Im confused !!
