2. If you are removing the active management module in the BladeCenter unit, stop all management-module local and remote sessions before you proceed, to avoid an unexpected termination of sessions. 3. Save the management-module configuration file. See the management-module User's Guide for instructions. 4. Remove any external devices that block access to the rear of the BladeCenter unit. See the Installation and User's Guide for your BladeCenter unit for instructions. 5. Disconnect any cables from the management module. 6. Pull the release handle all the way toward the bottom of the management module until it stops, as shown in the illustration. The module moves out of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).

Preparing for management-module redundancy To prepare your management modules for redundancy, complete the following steps: 1. Install the standby management module in the available management-module bay. 2. Wait 1 hour while the active management module transfers firmware and configuration information to the standby management module. The management modules are now prepared for redundancy. Note: For the most recent version of IBM Director software that you can use to manage redundant management modules, see http://www.ibm.com/ systems/support/. See the management-module User's Guide or Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for more information about configuring the management module. 16 BladeCenter Advanced Management Module: Installation Guide
