Removing the Blade Server from an Intel® Blade Server
Chassis SBCE
The following illustration shows how to remove the blade server from a typical Intel®
Blade Server Chassis SBCE.
Important:
•
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the Intel® Blade Server Chassis
SBCE without a blade server, or filler blade installed in each blade bay.
•
Note the bay number. Reinstalling a blade server 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 server into a different bay, you might need to reconfigure the blade
server.
To remove the blade server, complete the following steps:
1. If the blade server is operating, shut down the operating system; then, press the
power-control button (behind the blade server control panel door) to turn off the blade
server (see
“Turning off the Blade Server” on page 7 for more information).
Important: Wait at least 30 seconds, until the hard disk drives stop spinning, before proceeding to the
next step.
2. Open the two release handles as shown in the illustration. The blade server moves out
of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
3. Pull the blade server out of the bay. Spring-loaded doors further back in the bay move
into place to cover the bay temporarily.
4. Place either a filler blade or another blade in the bay within 1 minute. The recessed
spring-loaded doors will move out of the way as you insert the blade or filler blade.
