3.9.2 Installing the blade server in a Bull Blade Chassis
Install the blade server in a Bull Blade Chassis to use the blade server.
Figure 3-12. Installing the blade server in a Bull Blade Chassis
Perform the following procedure to install a blade server in a Bull Blade Chassis.
1. Read “Safety” on page ix and the Installation guidelines on page 19.
2. If you have not done so already, install any optional devices that you want, such as a
SAS drive or memory modules.
3. Select the bay for the blade server.
−
See the documentation that comes with your Bull Blade Chassis to verify that the
bay you choose is powered.
− Ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability by installing a blade
server, expansion unit, or blade filler in each blade bay.
−
Reinstall a blade server in the same blade bay to preserve some configuration
information and update options that are established by blade bay. Reinstalling
into a different blade bay can have unintended consequences, which might
include reconfiguring the blade server.
4. Verify that the release handles on the blade server are in the open position
(perpendicular to the blade server).
5. If you installed a filler blade or another blade server in the bay from which you
removed the blade server, remove it from the bay.
