Complete the following steps to install a blade server in the BladeCenter unit:
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 vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 19 through “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 19.
2. If you have not done so already, install any options that you want, such as IDE
drives or memory, in the blade server.
3. Select the bay for the blade server.
Notes:
a. If the blade server has an expansion unit installed on it, the blade server
and expansion option require two adjacent bays.
b. When any blade server or option is in either blade bay 7 through 14 (in the
BladeCenter unit) or blade bay 5 through 8 (in the BladeCenter T unit),
power modules must be present in all four power bays.
c. 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 the BladeCenter unit
and 20 minutes for the BladeCenter T unit.
4. Make sure that the release levers on the blade server are in the open position
(perpendicular to the blade server).
