System
reliability
considerations
Attention:
To
help
ensure
proper
cooling,
performance,
and
system
reliability,
make
sure
that
the
following
requirements
are
met:
v
Each
of
the
module
bays
on
the
rear
of
the
BladeCenter
unit
must
be
occupied
with
either
a
module
or
a
filler
module.
v
A
removed
hot-swap
module
is
replaced
with
an
identical
module
or
filler
module
within
1
minute
of
removal.
v
A
removed
hot-swap
blade
server
is
replaced
with
another
blade
server
or
filler
blade
within
1
minute
of
removal.
v
The
ventilation
areas
on
the
sides
of
the
switch
module
are
not
blocked.
v
You
have
followed
the
reliability
guidelines
in
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
BladeCenter
unit.
Cable
requirements
for
the
switch
module
are
described
in
the
IBM
Configuration
and
Options
Guide
at
http://www.ibm.com/bladecenter/.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
blade
server
for
cable
routing
information.
Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
the
BladeCenter
unit
and
other
electronic
devices.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
static-sensitive
devices
in
their
static-protective
packages
until
you
are
ready
to
install
them.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
electrostatic
discharge,
observe
the
following
precautions:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
exposed
printed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
possibly
damage
the
device.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
static-protective
package,
touch
it
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
of
the
BladeCenter
unit
chassis
or
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
any
other
grounded
rack
component
in
the
rack
you
are
installing
the
device
in
for
at
least
2
seconds.
(This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.)
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
the
BladeCenter
unit
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
down
the
device,
put
it
back
into
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
the
BladeCenter
unit
or
on
a
metal
surface.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather.
Heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
