c. To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that each of the blade bays on the front of the SBCE unit has a blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed. Do not operate the SBCE unit for more than one minute without either a blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed in each blade bay. 4. Ensure that the release levers on the blade server are in the open position (perpendicular to the blade server). 5. Slide the blade server into the bay until it stops. The spring-loaded doors further back in the bay that cover the bay opening move out of the way as you insert the blade server. 6. Push the release levers on the front of the blade server closed. 7. Turn on the blade server. See "Turning on the blade server" on page 5 for instructions. 8. Verify that the power-on LED on the blade control panel is lit continuously, indicating that the blade server is receiving power and is turned on. 9. If desired, write identifying information on one of the user labels that come with the blade server; then, place the label on the SBCE bezel just below the blade server, as shown in the following illustration. Important: Do not place the label on the blade server or in any way block the ventilation holes on the blade server. 10. If you have other blades to install, do so now. Attention: If you reinstall a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same 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 bay than the one from which it was removed could have unintended consequences and you might need to reconfigure the blade server. If this is the initial installation for a blade server in the SBCE unit, you need to configure the blade server with the blade server Configuration/Setup Utility and install the blade server operating system. See "Updating your blade server configuration" on page 56 and Chapter 7, "Installing the operating system," on page 57 for details. Installing options 55
