v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the device for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade workstation without setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade workstation cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Removing the blade workstation from the BladeCenter unit The following illustration shows how to remove the blade workstation from a typical BladeCenter unit. Attention: v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a blade workstation, expansion unit, or filler blade installed in each blade bay. v When you remove the blade workstation, note the bay number. Reinstalling a blade workstation into a different bay than the one it was removed from can have unintended consequences. Some configuration information and update options are established according to bay number; if you reinstall the blade workstation into a different bay, you might have to reconfigure the blade workstation. To remove the blade workstation, complete the following steps: 1. If the blade workstation is operating, shut down the operating system; then, press the power-control button (behind the blade workstation control panel door) to turn off the blade workstation (see "Turning off the blade workstation" on page 11 for more information). Attention: Wait at least 30 seconds, until the hard disk drives stop spinning, before you proceed to the next step. 2. Open the two release levers as shown in the illustration. The blade workstation moves out of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch). 3. Pull the blade workstation out of the bay. Spring-loaded doors farther back in the bay move into place to cover the bay temporarily. 4. Place either a filler blade or another blade in the bay within 1 minute. The recessed spring-loaded doors will move out of the way as you insert the blade or filler blade. 16 BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996: Installation and User's Guide

v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
static-protective
package,
touch
it
to
an
unpainted
metal
part
of
the
BladeCenter
unit
or
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
any
other
grounded
rack
component
in
the
rack
in
which
you
are
installing
the
device
for
at
least
2
seconds.
This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
the
blade
workstation
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
down
the
device,
put
it
back
into
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
the
blade
workstation
cover
or
on
a
metal
surface.
v
Take
additional
care
when
you
handle
devices
during
cold
weather.
Heating
reduces

static
electricity.
Removing
the
blade
workstation
from
the
BladeCenter
unit
The
following
illustration
shows
how
to
remove
the
blade
workstation
from
a
typical
BladeCenter
unit.
Attention:
v
To
maintain
proper
system
cooling,
do
not
operate
the
BladeCenter
unit
without
a
blade
workstation,
expansion
unit,
or
filler
blade
installed
in
each
blade
bay.
v
When
you
remove
the
blade
workstation,
note
the
bay
number.
Reinstalling
a
blade
workstation
into
a
different
bay
than
the
one
it
was
removed
from
can
have
unintended
consequences.
Some
configuration
information
and
update
options
are
established
according
to
bay
number;
if
you
reinstall
the
blade
workstation
into
a
different
bay,
you
might
have
to
reconfigure
the
blade
workstation.
To
remove
the
blade
workstation,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
If
the
blade
workstation
is
operating,
shut
down
the
operating
system;
then,
press
the
power-control
button
(behind
the
blade
workstation
control
panel
door)
to
turn
off
the
blade
workstation
(see
“Turning
off
the
blade
workstation”
on
page
11
for
more
information).
Attention:
Wait
at
least
30
seconds,
until
the
hard
disk
drives
stop
spinning,
before
you
proceed
to
the
next
step.
2.
Open
the
two
release
levers
as
shown
in
the
illustration.
The
blade
workstation
moves
out
of
the
bay
approximately
0.6
cm
(0.25
inch).
3.
Pull
the
blade
workstation
out
of
the
bay.
Spring-loaded
doors
farther
back
in
the
bay
move
into
place
to
cover
the
bay
temporarily.
4.
Place
either
a
filler
blade
or
another
blade
in
the
bay
within
1
minute.
The
recessed
spring-loaded
doors
will
move
out
of
the
way
as
you
insert
the
blade
or
filler
blade.
