. In this one we can see how the blades are put vertically, and you get several of them per horizontal rack space, instead of a tipical single
rack server
going all the way horizontally.

HP Blade Server by Brian Kirsch (2013)

.
Featuring an HP DL380 blade server, presumably an older model of this series:

.
In the video we can see that it contains
RAM
,
disk storage
, we are told about two
CPUs
, and networking interfaces, so it is a complete
computer
on its own. He also explains that unlike typical
rack servers
, each blade unit does not have its own coolers and power supply related hardware, which goes instead on the chassis.
