Installing a blade server in a BladeCenter chassis
Use these instructions to install a BladeCenter HX5 blade server in a BladeCenter chassis.
The following illustration shows how to install a BladeCenter HX5 blade server into a BladeCenter chassis.
See the documentation for your BladeCenter chassis for additional information.
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.
To install a BladeCenter HX5 blade server, complete the following steps.
Step 1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page iii and “Installation guidelines” on page 23.
Step 2. Select the blade server bay for the blade server; at least one blade server bay is required.
Notes:
1. For BladeCenter chassis that support up to 14 blade servers, when any blade server or device
is in blade server bay 7 through 14, power modules must be installed in all four power-module
bays. For additional information, see the
Installation and User's Guide for your chassis.
2. If you are reinstalling a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same blade
server bay from which you removed it. Some blade server configuration information and
update options are established according to blade server bay number. Reinstalling a blade
server into a different blade server bay from the one it was removed from can have unintended
consequences. If you reinstall the blade server into a different bay, you might need to
reconfigure the blade server.
3. To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter chassis without a blade
server, expansion unit, or filler module installed in each blade server bay.
Step 3. Make sure that the release handles on the blade server are in the open position (perpendicular to
the blade server).
Step 4. Slide the blade server into the blade server bay until it stops.
