If you reinstall a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same
blade server bay from which you removed it. Some blade server configuration
information and update options are established according to blade server bay
number. Reinstalling a blade server into a different blade server bay number from
the one from which it was removed can have unintended consequences, and you
might have to reconfigure the blade server.
If this is the initial installation of the blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you
must configure the blade server through the Configuration/Setup Utility program
and install the blade server operating system. See the Installation and User's Guide
for details. If you have changed the configuration of the blade server or if you are
installing a different blade server from the one that you removed, you must
configure the blade server through the Configuration/Setup Utility, and you might
have to install the blade server operating system. Detailed information about these
tasks is available in the Installation and User's Guide.
