Before beginning this procedure, ensure that you have a replacement SAN I/O Module or filler panel available because you do not want to leave the slot on the Blade Server Enclosure open for an extended period of time. The slot must be filled with either a replacement SAN I/O Module or a filler panel to maintain proper airflow. - Page 34 Cable Release Bale 5. Refer to the Hardware Owner’s Manual for the Blade Server Enclosure to remove and replace the SAN I/O module from the enclosure. ATTENTION If you are not replacing the SAN I/O Module, use a filler panel to fill the empty slot to maintain proper air flow.
