Complete the following steps to install a blade in the BladeCenter unit.
Statement 21:
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade is connected to the power
source. Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade.
1. Review the information in “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 15 through “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 15.
2. If you have not done so already, install any options needed, such as disk
drives or memory, in the blade server.
3. Select the bay for the blade server.
Notes:
a. If the blade server has a SCSI storage expansion unit installed on it, the
blade server and expansion option require two adjacent bays.
b. When any blade or option is in blade bay 7 through 14, power modules
must be present in power bays 1 and 2, and power modules must be
present in power bays 3 and 4.
4. Ensure that the release levers on the blade server are in the open position
(perpendicular to the blade).
5. Slide the blade server into the bay until it stops. The spring-loaded doors
further back in the bay that cover the bay opening move out of the way as you
insert the blade server.
6. Push the release levers on the front of the blade server closed.
7. Turn on the blade server. See “Turning on the blade server” on page 11 for
instructions.
8. Verify that the power-on LED on the blade control panel is lit continuously,
indicating that the blade server is receiving power and is turned on.
9. If desired, write identifying information on one of the user labels that come with
the blade server; then, place the label on the BladeCenter bezel just below the
blade server, as shown in the following illustration.
