v
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
v
Before you remove a hot-swap blade server from the BladeCenter unit, you must
shut down the operating system and turn off the blade server. You do not have
to shut down the BladeCenter unit itself.
v
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.
v
Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates
that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that you can remove or
install the component while the BladeCenter unit is running. (Orange can also
indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for
removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional
procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the
component.
v
When you are finished working on the blade server, reinstall all safety shields,
guards, labels, and ground wires.

System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following
requirements are met:
v
Each microprocessor socket always contains either a microprocessor dust cover
and heat sink filler or a microprocessor and heat sink. If the blade server has
only one microprocessor, it must be installed in microprocessor socket 1. If the
MPE unit has only one microprocessor, it must be installed in microprocessor
socket 1 of the MPE.
v
Do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a blade server, expansion unit, or
filler installed in each blade bay. See the documentation for your BladeCenter
unit for additional information.
v
Make sure that the ventilation holes on the blade server and on the MPE unit
are not blocked.
v
The blade server battery must be operational. If the battery becomes defective,
replace it immediately. For instructions, see the Problem Determination and Service
Guide .
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the blade server and other electronic
devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective
packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other
