3.1 Installation guidelines
Before you install options, read the following information:
• Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the guidelines in Handling
static-sensitive devices on page 24. This information will help you work safely.
•
When you install your new blade server, take the opportunity to download and apply
the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues
are addressed and that your blade server is ready to function at maximum levels of
performance. To download firmware updates for your blade server, go to
http://support.bull.com/ .
• Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
•
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
• Before you remove a blade server from the Blade Chassis, you must shut down the
operating system and turn off the blade server. You do not have to shut down the
Blade Chassis itself.
•
Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to
remove it from or install it in the blade server, or open or close a latch.
