Removing And Installing A Blade

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

Removing A Blade

1. Power down the blade in the sleeve using operating system commands or the CMC, and ensure that the blade is
turned off.
When a blade is turned off, its front-panel power indicator is off.
2. Pull down on the blade release handle and slide the blade out of the sleeve.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing the blade, install a blade blank. Operating the system for extended
periods of time without a blade blank installed can cause the enclosure to overheat.
