Removing A Blade Server - IBM BladeCenter T 8720 Installation And User Manual

10. If you have other modules to install at the front of the unit, do so now.
Otherwise reinstall the bezel assembly on the front of the BladeCenter T unit.
Note: Reinstall the bezel assembly on the BladeCenter T unit after you have
finished installing the blades. However, if you installed an option such
as a PCI I/O Expansion Unit with PCI adapters that require cables, you
will not be able to install the bezel assembly, which contains an air filter
for the BladeCenter T unit. If you cannot install the bezel assembly, a
filter must be provided on the rack.
If this is the initial installation for a blade server in the BladeCenter T unit, you must
configure the blade server with the blade server Configuration/Setup Utility program
and install the blade server operating system. See the documentation that comes
with the blade server for instructions.

Removing a blade server

the Wake on LAN feature.
1. Shut down the blade server operating system; then, press the blade server
power-control button (behind the blade server control panel door) to turn off the
blade server. Wait at least 30 seconds until the drives stop spinning, before

server moves slightly out of the bay.
