Chapter 3. Installing the blade server If you have options to install in the blade server, you should install them now. See Chapter 4, "Installing and removing replaceable units," on page 19 and the BladeCenter QS21 Problem Determination and Service Guide for further information, then continue with the instructions in this chapter. Installation guidelines The BladeCenter QS21 is a hot-swappable device: you can install or remove the blade server while the BladeCenter unit is running. Additionally, the BladeCenter QS21 can operate alongside different blade servers in the same BladeCenter unit. 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. You must 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 unexpected consequences, such as incorrect reconfiguration of 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. Statement 21: CAUTION: Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power source. Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade server. For information about the design of the BladeCenter unit, including the hot-swap blade bays, see the documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit. While you can install or remove the blade server without removing power from the BladeCenter unit, you must turn off the blade server before removing it from the BladeCenter unit. The maximum number of blade servers that the BladeCenter unit supports 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.

Chapter
3.
Installing
the
blade
server
If
you
have
options
to
install
in
the
blade
server,
you
should
install
them
now.
See
Chapter
4,
“Installing
and
removing
replaceable
units,”
on
page
19
and
the
BladeCenter
QS21
Problem
Determination
and
Service
Guide
for
further
information,
then
continue
with
the
instructions
in
this
chapter.
Installation
guidelines
The
BladeCenter
QS21
is
a
hot-swappable
device:
you
can
install
or
remove
the
blade
server
while
the
BladeCenter
unit
is
running.
Additionally,
the
BladeCenter
QS21
can
operate
alongside
different
blade
servers
in
the
same
BladeCenter
unit.
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.
You
must
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
unexpected
consequences,
such
as
incorrect
reconfiguration
of
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.
Statement
21:
CAUTION:
Hazardous
energy
is
present
when
the
blade
server
is
connected
to
the
power
source.
Always
replace
the
blade
cover
before
installing
the
blade
server.
For
information
about
the
design
of
the
BladeCenter
unit,
including
the
hot-swap
blade
bays,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
BladeCenter
unit.
While
you
can
install
or
remove
the
blade
server
without
removing
power
from
the
BladeCenter
unit,
you
must
turn
off
the
blade
server
before
removing
it
from
the
BladeCenter
unit.
The
maximum
number
of
blade
servers
that
the
BladeCenter
unit
supports
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
