Installation guidelines Before you install options in the BladeCenter unit, read the following information: v Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices." This information will help you work safely. 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 You do not have to disconnect the BladeCenter unit from power to install or replace any of the hot-swap modules in the BladeCenter unit. You must shut down the operating system and turn off a hot-swap blade server before you remove the blade server, but 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 BladeCenter unit, open and close a latch, and so on. v For a list of supported options for the BladeCenter unit, see http://www.ibm.com/bladecenter/ System reliability guidelines To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met: v Each of the module bays on the rear of the BladeCenter unit has either a module or a module filler installed. v Each of the blade 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 filler panel installed. v A removed hot-swap module, blade server, or drive is replaced within 1 minute of removal. v Cables for the optional modules are routed according to the illustrations and instructions in this document. v A failed blower is replaced as soon as possible, to restore cooling redundancy. Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage the BladeCenter unit 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 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 printed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. 18 BladeCenter H Type 8852, 7989, and 1886: Installation and User's Guide
