Preparing the Server Blade for Servicing
To service an internal server blade component, power down the server blade and remove it from
the server blade enclosure.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Ensure you are properly
grounded before beginning an installation procedure. For more information, see the
“Safety
Information” (page 26)
.
Powering Off the Server Blade
The front panel power switch, or the Virtual Power Button, do not completely shut the power off in
the server blade. This toggles between on and standby modes, rather than on and off. The standby
position removes power from most components and drives, but portions of the power supply and
some internal circuitry remain active.
WARNING!
Before proceeding with maintenance or service on a server blade that requires
physical contact with electrical or electronic components, ensure that power is removed or safety
precautions are followed to prevent electric shock and equipment damage. Observe all WARNING
and CAUTION labels on equipment.
To service internal server blade components:
1.
Identify the proper server blade in the server blade enclosure.
The enclosure slots are numbered Bay 1 one through Bay 16 from left to right.
2.
Remove power from the server blade in one of the following ways:
•
Use the iLO Virtual Power Button on the Remote Console to power off the server blade
from a remote location. It can take up to 30 seconds for the server blade enter standby
mode. Wait for the power LED to change from green to amber before proceeding.
•
Press the Power button on the front of the server blade. It can take up to 30 seconds for
the server blade to reach standby. Wait for the power LED to change from green to amber
before proceeding.
