7. Install and close the blade server cover. See "Installing and closing the blade
server cover" on page 243.
Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power
source. Always replace the blade server cover before installing the blade
server.
8. Install the blade server into the BladeCenter unit. See "Installing the blade
server in a BladeCenter unit" on page 240.
Because the system board and chassis assembly has not changed, the firmware
initializes the management card VPD using data that the blade server cached.
To ensure that you give the initialization enough time to complete, access the
management module and wait for the management module to discover the
blade server.
Attention: If the management card was not properly installed, the power-on
LED blinks rapidly and a communication error is reported to the management
module. If this occurs, remove the blade server from the BladeCenter, as
described in "Removing the management card" on page 250. Reseat the
management card, then reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter.
9. If you are also installing a new system board, you must complete this
procedure before installing the new system board:
a. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the
blade server from the BladeCenter unit. See "Removing the blade server
from a BladeCenter unit" on page 239.
b. Perform the procedure for replacing the system board to install the new
system board. See "Replacing the Tier 2 system-board and chassis
assembly" on page 270.
