To help make sure that proper cooling and system
reliability requirements are met, review the following guidelines.
- To ensure proper cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter® unit
without a blade device or blade filler installed in each blade-server
bay. See the documentation for your BladeCenter unit for additional
information.
- Each microprocessor socket always contains a microprocessor
and heat sink.
- Each DIMM socket always contains a memory module or filler.
- Each hot-swap SAS bay contains a SAS storage drive
or filler.
- Make sure that the ventilation holes on the blade appliance are
not blocked.
- The blade appliance battery must be operational.
If the battery becomes defective, replace it immediately. For instructions,
see the IBM BladeCenter HS22 Problem Determination and Service
Guide.
