Chapter 4. Installing options This chapter provides instructions for adding options to the blade server. Installation guidelines Before you begin, read the following information: v Read the safety information beginning on page v and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 20. This information will help you work safely with the blade server and options. v Read the information in "Preinstallation checklist" on page 17. v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver available. v You do not have to turn off the blade server or disconnect the BladeCenter unit from power to install or replace any of the hot-swap modules on the rear of the BladeCenter unit. v Before you remove a blade server from the BladeCenter unit, you must shut down the operating system by typing the shutdown -h now command. If the blade server was not turned off, press the power-control button (behind the blade-server control-panel door) to turn off the blade server. 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 blade server or BladeCenter unit, open or close a latch, and so on. 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 if the blade server or BladeCenter unit and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the blade server or 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 For a list of supported options for the blade server, go to http://www.ibm.com/ servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2006 19
