The appearance of your BladeCenter unit might be different, see the documentation
for your BladeCenter unit for additional information.
Release handles
(open)
Statement 21:
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade workstation is connected to the
power source. Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade
workstation.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 13.
2. Make sure that the release handles on the blade workstation are in the open
position (perpendicular to the blade workstation).
3. If you installed a blade filler or another blade workstation in the bay from which
you removed the blade workstation, remove it from the bay.
Attention: You must install the blade workstation in the same blade bay from
which you removed it. Some blade workstation configuration information and
update options are established according to bay number. Reinstalling a blade
workstation into a different blade bay from the one from which it was removed
could have unintended consequences, and you might have to reconfigure the
blade workstation.
4. Slide the blade workstation into the blade bay from which you removed it until it
stops.
5. Push the release handles on the front of the blade workstation closed.
6. Turn on the blade workstation (see “Turning on the blade workstation” on page
6 for instructions).
7. Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade workstation control panel is lit
continuously, indicating that the blade workstation is receiving power and is
turned on.
