  * Server mode: the executable for the server XIOS (xios_server.exe) and the executable orchidee(orchidee_ol) should both be launched in multiple program mode. Normally only 1MPI is used for the server and several for the orchidee executable. 
 
-'''Note: Server mode can not be used on a single pixel or when running ORCHIDEE in sequential mode.''' See below how to change to attached mode. 
+When running with the libIGCM configuration, the choice between server and attached mode is done in config.card. 
 
-The choice when running with the libIGCM configuration is done in config.card. The server mode is activated when the component IOS is set in [!ListOfComponents] and in [Executable] section in config.card.
+'''The server mode is activated when the component IOS is set in [!ListOfComponents] and in [Executable] section.'''
 See here an extract from config.card for the case with server mode activated. No rebuild is needed therefore !RebuildFrequency=NONE is possible.

-Server mode must be deactivated to run on a single pixel or on a small domain using only 1MIP for orchidee. To deactivate server mode(=running in attached mode), remove IOS from [!ListOfComponents] and [Executable] section in config.card. The last section [IOS] can be kept.
