4.1 Chassis Description
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ server modules are accessible from the front of the M1000e enclosure. At the
bottom of the enclosure is a flip-out multiple-angle LCD screen for local systems management
configuration, system information, and status. The front of the enclosure also contains two USB
connections for USB keyboard and mouse, a video connection, and a system power button. The front
control panel’s USB and video ports work only when the iKVM module is installed, as the iKVM
provides the capability to switch the KVM between the blades. For more information, see the System
Control Panel Features section in the About Your System chapter of the Dell PowerEdge Modular
Systems Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com/Manuals. M1000e supports up to sixteen
half-height or eight full-height server modules. The chassis guide and retention features are designed
such that alternative module form factors are possible. The chassis architecture is flexible enough
that server, storage, or other types of front-loading modules are possible.
