Removing the blade workstation from a BladeCenter unit
Attention:
v
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a
blade workstation, blade server, expansion unit, or blade filler installed in each
blade bay.
v Note the bay number. Reinstalling a blade workstation into a different bay than
the one from which it was removed could have unintended consequences. Some
configuration information and update options are established according to bay
number; if you reinstall the blade workstation into a different bay, you might have
to reconfigure the blade workstation.
To remove the blade workstation from a BladeCenter unit, complete the following
steps. The appearance of your BladeCenter unit might be different, see the
documentation for your BladeCenter unit for additional information.
