Installing the blade server in the BladeCenter unit The following illustration shows how to remove the blade server from a typical BladeCenter unit. Notes: v For information about the design of the BladeCenter unit, including the hot-swap blade bays, see the BladeCenter unit Installation and User's Guide. v The blade server is a hot-swap device. You can install or remove the blade server without removing power from the BladeCenter unit. However, you must turn off the blade server before removing it from the BladeCenter unit. v The maximum number of blade servers that the BladeCenter unit supports depends on the BladeCenter unit type and varies by the wattage of the power supplies that are installed in the BladeCenter unit. For more information about determining the power requirements for the blade server, see the IBM BladeCenter Power Module Upgrade Guidelines Technical Update for your BladeCenter unit. v To maintain proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, do not operate the BladeCenter unit for more than 1 minute without a blade server or filler blade installed in each blade bay. When you remove a filler blade from a blade bay in the BladeCenter unit so that you can install a blade server, do not discard the filler blade. You will need the filler blade if you ever remove the blade server. For future use, store the filler blade in a static-protective environment, such as the static-protective package that comes with the blade server. Attention: If you plan to remove a blade server and reinstall it, be sure to note the number of the bay that contains the blade server before you remove it. Then, reinstall the blade server in the same bay from which it was removed. Reinstalling a blade server into a different bay than the one from which it was removed could have unintended consequences, such as incorrectly reconfiguring the blade server. Some blade server configuration information and update options are established according to bay number. If you reinstall the blade server into a different bay, you might have to reconfigure the blade server. Chapter 4. Installing options 31

Installing
the
blade
server
in
the
BladeCenter
unit
The
following
illustration
shows
how
to
remove
the
blade
server
from
a
typical
BladeCenter
unit.
Notes:
v
For
information
about
the
design
of
the
BladeCenter
unit,
including
the
hot-swap
blade
bays,
see
the
BladeCenter
unit
Installation
and
User’s
Guide
.
v
The
blade
server
is
a
hot-swap
device.
You
can
install
or
remove
the
blade
server
without
removing
power
from
the
BladeCenter
unit.
However,
you
must
turn
off
the
blade
server
before
removing
it
from
the
BladeCenter
unit.
v
The
maximum
number
of
blade
servers
that
the
BladeCenter
unit
supports
depends
on
the
BladeCenter
unit
type
and
varies
by
the
wattage
of
the
power
supplies
that
are
installed
in
the
BladeCenter
unit.
For
more
information
about
determining
the
power
requirements
for
the
blade
server,
see
the
IBM
BladeCenter
Power
Module
Upgrade
Guidelines
Technical
Update
for
your
BladeCenter
unit.
v
To
maintain
proper
cooling,
performance,
and
system
reliability,
do
not
operate
the
BladeCenter
unit
for
more
than
1
minute
without
a
blade
server
or
filler
blade
installed
in
each
blade
bay.
When
you
remove
a
filler
blade
from
a
blade
bay
in
the
BladeCenter
unit
so
that
you
can
install
a
blade
server,
do
not
discard
the
filler
blade.
You
will
need
the
filler
blade
if
you
ever
remove
the
blade
server.
For
future
use,
store
the
filler
blade
in
a
static-protective
environment,
such
as
the
static-protective
package
that
comes
with
the
blade
server.
Attention:
If
you
plan
to
remove
a
blade
server
and
reinstall
it,
be
sure
to
note
the
number
of
the
bay
that
contains
the
blade
server
before
you
remove
it.
Then,
reinstall
the
blade
server
in
the
same
bay
from
which
it
was
removed.
Reinstalling
a
blade
server
into
a
different
bay
than
the
one
from
which
it
was
removed
could
have
unintended
consequences,
such
as
incorrectly
reconfiguring
the
blade
server.
Some
blade
server
configuration
information
and
update
options
are
established
according
to
bay
number.
If
you
reinstall
the
blade
server
into
a
different
bay,
you
might
have
to
reconfigure
the
blade
server.
