Use these instructions to install the blade server in a
BladeCenter unit.
The following illustration shows how to install a blade
server into a BladeCenter unit. The appearance of your BladeCenter
unit might be different; see the documentation for your BladeCenter
unit for additional information. To install a blade server in a BladeCenter
unit, complete the following steps.
Statement
21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is
present when the blade server is connected to the power source. Always
replace the blade cover before installing the blade server.
- Before you begin, read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- Select the blade bay for the blade server; at least one
blade bay is required.
Note:
- When any blade server or device is in blade bay 7 through 14,
power modules must be installed in all four power-module bays. For
additional information, see the Installation and User's Guide that comes with the BladeCenter unit.
- If you are reinstalling a blade server that you removed, you must
install it in the same blade bay from which you removed it. Some blade
server configuration information and update options are established
according to blade server bay number. Reinstalling a blade server
into a different blade server bay number from the one which it was
removed can have unintended consequences, and you might have to reconfigure
the blade server.
- To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability,
make sure that each blade bay on the front of the BladeCenter unit
contains a blade server, expansion unit, or blade filler. Do not operate
a BladeCenter unit for more than 1 minute without a blade server,
expansion unit, or blade filler in each blade bay.
- Make sure that the release handles on the blade server
are in the open position (perpendicular to the blade server).
Attention: Two people are required to install a
Type 1911 blade server into the bay.
Statement 4: (for
Type 1911)

|
| ≥ 18 kg (39.7 lb) |
≥ 32 kg (70.5 lb) |
≥ 55 kg (121.2 lb) |
CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
- Slide the blade server into the blade bay until
it stops.
- Push the release handles on the front of the blade server
to the closed position.
Note: After the blade server is installed, the service
processor in the blade server initializes and synchronizes with the
management module. This process takes approximately two minutes to
complete. The power-on LED flashes rapidly, and the power-control
button on the blade server does not respond until this process is
complete.
- Turn on the blade server (see Turning on the blade server for instructions).
- Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade server control
panel is lit continuously, indicating that the blade server is receiving
power and is turned on.
- If you have other blade servers to install, do so now.
- Optional: Write identifying information on
one of the labels that come with the blade servers and place the label
on the BladeCenter unit bezel. See the documentation for your BladeCenter
unit for information about the label placement.
Important: Do not place the label on the blade server
or in any way block the ventilation holes on the blade server.
- Reinstall the bezel assembly on the BladeCenter T unit
(BladeCenter T unit only). For detailed instructions for reinstalling
the bezel assembly, see the Installation and User's Guide that
comes with the BladeCenter T unit.
If you have changed
the configuration of the blade server or if you are installing a different
blade server from the one that you removed, you must configure the
blade server through the Setup utility, and you might have to install
the blade server operating system. Detailed information about these
tasks is available in the Installation and User's Guide.
