Possibility of using the Blades G6 in enclosure generation first.

Can I use the Blades G6 in the enclosure G1? Will they operate correctly work in it? Will they Correctly work together the blades G1?

[The Brit]

Yes.

As long as you have a C3000 och C7000 enclosure, the generation doesn't matter. We are running BL460 G1, G5, G6 next to each other.

Yes, be sure your Onboard Administrator firmware is at least 2.51. This is required to support G6 blades.

We have updated our OA to 2.60, however the BL460 g6 blades appears as a grey block with a green LED, no image of the BL460 G6.....any ideas?

3. Remove the access panellook at the diagram on it it will show the position of the maintenace switch( it clears Nv ram)
4. Change position 6 of the system maintenance switch to on.
5. Install the access panel
