13. Replace any external components that you removed in step 3 on page 14.
14. If this is the only management module in the BladeCenter unit, configure
the new management module. See Chapter 4, "Configuring the
management module," on page 25 for more information.
If this is a standby management module, and you followed the
instructions in "Preparing for management-module redundancy" on page
16, no configuration is necessary.
The standby management module receives the configuration and status
information automatically from the active management module. The transfer of
information to the standby management module can take up to 45 minutes
after it is installed.
Removing a management module
Notes:
1. These instructions assume that the BladeCenter unit is connected to power.
2. If you are replacing the only management module in the BladeCenter unit
and the management module is functioning, save the configuration file
before you proceed. See the management-module User's Guide or the
Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for instructions for saving and
restoring a configuration file.
3. If you have just installed a standby management module in the
BladeCenter unit, do not remove the active management module for 1
hour; the standby management module needs the time to receive initial
status information and firmware from the active management module.
To remove a management module, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 11 through "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page
12.
2. If you are removing the active management module in the BladeCenter
unit, stop all management-module local and remote sessions before you
proceed, to avoid an unexpected termination of sessions.
3. Save the management-module configuration file. See the
management-module User's Guide for instructions.
4. Remove any external devices that block access to the rear of the
BladeCenter unit. See the Installation and User's Guide for your BladeCenter
unit for instructions.
5. Disconnect any cables from the management module.
6. Pull the release handle all the way toward the bottom of the management
module until it stops, as shown in the illustration. The module moves out
of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
