Be sure to only replace a server blade in the bay from which it was removed. Do not swap or move server blades in a blade enclosure or disk enclosure in HP P4800 G2 solution systems. If you do, nodes will lose failover ability and you may lose connectivity to the disks and network.
The original system disks are in place. This task is essential. The memory size of the replacement blade is a minimum of 24 GB or larger. The HP Smart Array P700m controller card is in place. Insert the blade in its original bay in the blade chassis.
