Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover
The blade cover must be removed to access the mainboard when you need to install or
remove processors, memory units, the onboard battery and so on.
Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover
1. Remove the blade unit from the enclosure (see "Removing a Blade Unit from the
Enclosure" above).
2. Remove the retaining screw from the top of the blade cover, then depress the two
buttons on the cover while pushing the cover toward the rear of the blade unit.
When it stops, lift the cover off the blade unit.
3. To replace the cover, fit the six grooves in the cover into the studs in the sides of the
blade, then slide the cover toward the front of the blade to lock it into place. Rescrew
the blade cover retaining screw back into place.
Installing a Blade Unit into the Enclosure
Make sure the cover of the blade unit has been replaced first before installing a blade
unit in the enclosure.
Installing a Blade Unit into the Enclosure
1. Slowly push the blade unit into its bay with the handles fully pulled out (see
Figure 3-1 ).
2. When the blade stops, it will lock into place in the enclosure from the locking tabs
(see
Figure 3-2 ).
Note: Blade Modules can be Hot-Plugged into the enclosure.
Warning: Use extreme caution when inserting a blade module into the enclosure .
If the blade's power connector becomes damaged, it can damage pins on other blade
bays that it is inserted into.
Note: The below illustrations in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 demonstrate the removal and
insertion for all Supermicro blade modules. Your blade module or enclosure may appear
different than illustrated but uses the same handles and method of insertion.
