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.
Attention: If you reinstall a blade that you removed, you must install it in the
same bays from which you removed it. Some blade server configuration information
and update options are established according to bay number. Reinstalling a blade
server into different bays than those from which it was removed could have
unintended consequences, and you might need to reconfigure the blade server.
1. Review the safety information beginning on page 109 and “Installation
guidelines” on page 33 through “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 33.
2. If you have not done so already, install any required options, such as
microprocessors or memory, in the blade server.
3. Select the bays for the blade server.
Notes:
a. The HS40 blade server requires two adjacent bays.
