Installing a switch module
Note: The following illustration shows how to install a switch module in a Type
8852 BladeCenter unit. The appearance of your BladeCenter unit might be
different; see the documentation for your BladeCenter unit for additional
information.
To install a switch module, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation
guidelines” on page 8.
2.
Select I/O-module bay in which to install the switch module.
Note: For details about I/O-module bay requirements and bay locations, see
the documentation for the BladeCenter unit and blade servers.
3. Remove the filler module from the selected bay. Store the filler module for
future use.
4. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that
contains the switch module to an
unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter
unit or an unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack-component for
at least 2 seconds.
5.
If the removed filler module (from step 3) occupied two bays:
v
Remove the single-high filler module from its static-protective package.
v
Install the single-high filler module into the unused bay.
6. Remove the switch module from its static-protective package.
7. Make sure that the release levers on the switch module are in the open
position (perpendicular to the module).
For specific instructions for installing a switch module in the BladeCenter
unit, see the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit.
8. Slide the switch module into the applicable I/O-module bay until it stops.
9.
Push the release levers on the front of the switch module to the closed
position. After you insert and lock the switch module, it is turned on, and a
power-on self-test (POST) occurs to verify that the switch module is operating
correctly.
