according to blade bay number. Reinstalling a blade appliance into a
different blade bay from which it was removed can have unintended
consequences, and you might have to reconfigure the blade appliance.
c. To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make
sure that each blade bay on the front of the BladeCenter unit contains a
blade device or blade filler. Do not operate a BladeCenter unit for more
than one minute without a blade device or blade filler in each blade bay.
3. Make sure that the release handles on the blade appliance are in the open
position (perpendicular to the blade appliance).
4. Slide the blade appliance into the blade bays until it stops.
5. Push the release handles on the front of the blade appliance to the closed
position.
Note: After the blade appliance is installed, the blade appliance initializes and
synchronizes with the management module. This process takes approximately
two minutes to complete. The power-on LED flashes rapidly, and the
power-control button on the blade appliance does not respond until this
process is complete.
6. Turn on the blade appliance (see "Turning on the blade appliance" on page 12
for instructions).
7. Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade appliance control panel is lit
continuously, indicating that the blade appliance is receiving power and is
turned on.
8. If you have other blade devices to install, do so now.
9. Optional: Write identifying information on one of the labels that comes with
the BladeCenter unit and place the label on the BladeCenter unit bezel. See
the documentation for your BladeCenter unit for information about the label
placement.
Important: Do not place the label on the blade appliance or in any way block
the ventilation holes on the blade appliance.
10. If the blade appliance is installed in a BladeCenter HT unit, reinstall the bezel
assembly on the BladeCenter HT unit. For detailed instructions for reinstalling
the bezel assembly, see the Installation and User's Guide that comes with the
BladeCenter HT unit.
If this is the initial installation of the blade appliance in the BladeCenter unit, if
you have changed the configuration of the blade appliance, or if you are installing
a different blade appliance from the one that you removed, you must configure it.
See Chapter 4, "Setting up the initial firmware configuration," on page 21 for
details.
