Removing and installing the blade server in a BladeCenter unit
Attention:
v
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a
blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed in each blade bay.
v
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 from a BladeCenter unit, 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 6 for more information).
Attention: Wait at least 30 seconds, until the hard disk drives stop spinning,
before proceeding to the next step.
2. Open the two release levers 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 server 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.
