Prerequisites
Take the following ESD prevention measures:
•
Wear antistatic clothing.
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
•
Do not wear any conductive objects, such as jewelry or watches.
Before removing the blade server, make sure you back up the data, stop all services, and power off
the server.
When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins
are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
You might also remove other components. For the removed components to be reinstalled correctly,
record their positions and connections before removal, for example, taking pictures of cable
connection and drive installation positions, or labeling cables.
For more information about installation principles of blade servers, see the user guide for the server.
