Removing An I/O Module - IBM BladeCenter Installation Manual

Removing an I/O module

Attention: To maintain proper cooling and system reliability, each
I/O-module bay in the BladeCenter unit must have either an I/O module or
filler module installed. If you remove a hot-swap module, you must replace it
with another module or filler module within 1 minute of removal.
To remove an I/O module, complete the following steps.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 9.
2. If an acoustic attenuation module is installed on your BladeCenter unit,
remove it. See the documentation for your BladeCenter unit for
instructions.
3. Observe or record the locations of the cable connectors on the I/O module.
You will need this information when you reconnect the cables. Then,
disconnect any cables from the I/O module that you are removing.
4. Pull the release latch toward the bottom of the I/O module as shown in the
following illustration. The module moves out of the I/O-module bay
approximately 0.64 cm (0.25 inch).

5. Slide the I/O module out of the I/O-module bay and set it aside.
6. Place either another I/O module or a filler module in the I/O-module bay
within 1 minute.
