Installing Blade Modules
Up to ten SBI-7127RG-E blade server modules may be installed into a single blade
enclosure (depending upon your enclosure and blade). Blade modules with Windows
and Linux operating systems may be mixed together in the same blade enclosure.
Powering Up a Blade Unit
Each blade unit may be powered on and off independently from the rest of the blades
installed in the same enclosure. A blade unit may be powered up in two ways:
•
Press the power button on the blade unit.
•
Use IPMIView or the web-browser based management utility to apply power using
either a CMM module, or by the use of the onboard BMC chip in the blade module.
Powering Down a Blade Unit
A blade unit may be powered down in either of the following ways:
•
Press the power button on the blade unit.
•
Use IPMIView or the web-browser based management utility to power down (if you
have Operator or Admin privileges on the CMM).
•
Use IPMItool when connected to the CMM to power down (if you have Operator or
Admin privileges on the CMM).
Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure
Although the blade system may continue to run, individual blades should always be
powered down before removing them from the enclosure.
Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure
1. Power down the blade unit (see
2. Squeeze both handles to depress the red sections then pull out both handles
completely and use them to pull the blade unit from the enclosure.
