4. Select the bay for the blade server; at least one blade bay is required. Notes: v When any blade server or option is in blade bays 7 through 14 (in a BladeCenter unit) or in blade bays 5 through 8 (in a BladeCenter T unit), power modules must be present in all four power-module bays. For additional information, see the Installation and User's Guide that comes with the BladeCenter or BladeCenter T unit. v 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 or a BladeCenter T unit for more than 20 minutes without a blade server, expansion unit, or blade filler in each blade bay. 5. Make sure that the release handles on the blade server are in the open position (perpendicular to the blade server). 6. Slide the blade server into the blade bay until it stops. 7. Push the release handles on the front of the blade server to the closed position. 8. Turn on the blade server (see "Turning on the blade server" on page 11 for instructions). 9. 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. 10. (Optional) Write identifying information on one of the labels that come with the blade servers and place the label on a 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. 11. If you have other blade servers to install, do so now. 12. (BladeCenter T unit only) Reinstall the bezel assembly on the BladeCenter T unit. For detailed instructions for reinstalling the bezel assembly, see the Installation and User's Guide that comes with the BladeCenter T unit. If you reinstall 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 bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a different blade bay from the one from which it was removed can have unintended consequences, and you might have to reconfigure the blade server. If this is the initial installation for the blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you must configure the blade server through the Configuration/Setup Utility program and install the blade server operating system. See "Updating the blade server configuration" on page 38 and Chapter 5, "Installing the operating system," on page 49 for details. Chapter 3. Installing options 37

Notes:
v
When
any
blade
server
or
option
is
in
blade
bays
7
through
14
(in
a
BladeCenter
unit)
or
in
blade
bays
5
through
8
(in
a
BladeCenter

on
a
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

blade
server.
11.
If
you
have
other
blade
servers
to
install,
do
so
now.
12.
(BladeCenter
T
unit
only)
Reinstall
the
bezel
assembly
on
the
BladeCenter
T
unit.
For
detailed
instructions
for
reinstalling
the
bezel
assembly,
see
the
Installation
and
User’s
Guide
that
comes
with
the
BladeCenter
T
unit.
If
you
reinstall
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
bay
number.
Reinstalling
a
blade
server
into
a
different
blade
bay
from
the
one
from
which
it
was
removed
can
have
unintended
consequences,
and
you
might
have
to
reconfigure
the
blade
server.
If
this
is
the
initial
installation
for
the
blade
server
in
the
BladeCenter
unit,
you
must
configure
the
blade
server
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
and
install
the
blade
server
operating
system.
See
“Updating
the
blade
server
configuration”
on
page
38
and
