Chapter 3. Installing a management module See the Installation and User's Guide that comes with your BladeCenter unit type for specific management-module bay locations and installation information. Installation guidelines Before you install the management module, read the following information: v Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 12, and read the safety statements in the BladeCenter unit documentation. v The orange color on components and labels in your BladeCenter unit identifies hot-swap components. You can install or remove hot-swap modules and, with some restrictions, hot-swap blade servers while the BladeCenter unit is running. For details about installing or removing a management module, see the detailed information in this chapter. v For a list of supported options for your BladeCenter unit, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. System reliability guidelines To help ensure proper BladeCenter cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met: v Each of the module bays on the front and rear of the BladeCenter unit has either a module or a module filler installed. v Each of the blade server bays on the front of the BladeCenter unit has either a blade server or a blade filler installed. v Each of the drive bays in a blade-server storage expansion option has either a hot-swap drive or a panel filler installed. v Replace a removed hot-swap module, blade server, or drive within 1 minute of removal. v Route cables for optional modules according to the documents that come with the modules. v Replace a failed blower as soon as possible to restore cooling redundancy. See the BladeCenter Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions. Failure to replace a blade server or module with another blade server, module, blade filler, or module filler within 1 minute can affect performance in the blade servers. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2011 11

v
For a list of supported options for your BladeCenter unit, see
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper BladeCenter cooling and system reliability, make sure
that the following requirements are met:
v
Each of the module bays on the front and rear of the BladeCenter unit has
either a module or a module filler installed.
v
Each of the blade server bays on the front of the BladeCenter unit has either
a blade server or a blade filler installed.
v
Each of the drive bays in a blade-server storage expansion option has either
a hot-swap drive or a panel filler installed.
v
Replace a removed hot-swap module, blade server, or drive within 1 minute
of removal.
v
Route cables for optional modules according to the documents that come
with the modules.
v
Replace a failed blower as soon as possible to restore cooling redundancy.
See the BladeCenter
