Installing the Cisco TelePresence Server MSE
8710
IMPORTANT:
Before installing the TelePresence Server into the MSE 8000 and connecting the power
supply, you must read the safety information at
http://www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/safety
.
CAUTION:
n
Make sure that you have the correct power requirements and sufficient power in your PSU; for information
on powering the MSE 8000 refer to the
Installation guides on cisco.com
.
n
Although blades are hot-swappable parts, you must only remove one blade at any time. Remove the
power from the MSE 8000, if you need to remove more than one blade at a time.
n
Before hot-swapping a blade, shut down the blade using the web interface. Do not shut down a blade
during a software upgrade or if the blade is processing.
n
The MSE 8000 backplane uses high performance data connectors. Do not remove TelePresence Server
blades unless absolutely necessary because doing so may reduce the life of those connectors.
Task 1: Install the blade in the chassis
You must install either a blade or a blanking blade in each of the ten positions in the chassis.
The Cisco TelePresence Supervisor MSE 8050 (Supervisor) blade must be installed into slot 1 of the MSE
8000 chassis.
1. Remove the blade or blanking blade from the slot into which you are going to install the TelePresence
Server:
i. Using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screws in the retaining latches with an anti-clockwise
quarter turn.
ii. Open both retaining latches on the front of the blade or blanking blade. When open, a retaining latch is
at a 90° angle perpendicular to the front of the blade.
iii. Slide out the blade or blanking blade.
2. Open both retaining latches on the front of the TelePresence Server. When open, a retaining latch is at a
90° angle perpendicular to the front of the blade.
3. Slide the TelePresence Server into the blade slot (as shown in the following diagrams) until it stops.
