Intel® Server Compute Blade SBX44: Installation and User’s Guide
c. To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that each of
the blade bays on the front of the system chassis has a blade server, expansion unit, or filler
blade installed. Do not operate the system chassis for more than one minute without either a
blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed in each blade bay.
4.
Ensure that the release levers (A) on the blade server are in the open position (perpendicular to
the blade).
5.
Slide the blade server into the bay until it stops. The spring-loaded doors further back in the bay
that cover the bay opening move out of the way as you insert the blade server.
6.
Push the release levers on the front of the blade server closed.
7.
Turn on the blade server. See “Turning on the blade server” on page 13 for instructions.
8.
Verify that the power-on LED on the blade control panel is lit continuously, indicating that the
blade server is receiving power and is turned on.
9.
If desired, write identifying information on one of the user labels that comes with the blade
server; then, place the label on the system chassis bezel just below the blade server, as shown in
the following illustration.
Important: Do not place the label on the blade server or in any way block the ventilation holes
on the blade server.
10.
If you have other blades to install, do so now.
Attention: If you reinstall a blade that you removed, you must install it in the same bay from which
you removed it. Some blade server configuration information and update options are established
according to bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a different bay than the one from which it
was removed could have unintended consequences and you might need to reconfigure the blade
server.
If this is the initial installation for a blade server in the system chassis, you need to configure the
blade server and install the blade server operating system.
