Blade IP Configuration
I have an m1000e chassis with three M710 blades. The blade IP addresses are being created via DHCP, but i need to set static IP addresses on the blades. Is there a way to turn off the DHCP for the internal blade NIC's and assign specific IP addresses to these NIC's? I can set IP addresses on the DRAC and CMC, but I can't find the location to manually set the IP addresses on the blades.
What am I missing?

im not sure i fully understand your question, but here goes
you can configure iDRAC ip addressing for each slot under the CMC console (Servers, Setup, Deploy iDRAC)
If your trying to configure static Ip's on the ethernet ports seen by the blades for the OS, then you would need to do that in the OS, if your running DHCP as it seems you are then you could do a DHCP reservation for the MAC address of the NIC's, you can get the MAC addresses from the chassis CMC as well (Servers, Properties, WWN/MAC) but im not sure if that needs a more recent firmware level as i dont remember seeing it in the earlier CMC versions.
hope that helps and i understood the question, if not sorry.
