To install a blade server in a BladeCenter unit, complete the following steps.
Statement 21:
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power
source. Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade server.
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 21 through “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 21.
2. If you have not done so already, install any options that you want, such as
SAS drives or memory, in the blade server.
3. Select the bay for the blade server.
Notes:
a. When any blade server or option is in blade bay 7 through 14 (in a
BladeCenter unit) or in blade bays 5 through 8 (in a BladeCenter T unit),
power modules must be present in all four power-module bays.
b. To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make
sure that each of the blade bays on the front of the BladeCenter unit has a
blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed. Do not operate the
system unit without either a blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade
installed in each blade bay for more than 1 minute for a BladeCenter unit
or 20 minutes for a BladeCenter T unit.
4. Make sure that the release handles on the blade server are in the open
position (perpendicular to the blade server).
