Hardware Removal

Put the HP BladeSystem enclosure into a safe and stable state for component removal and bring the
component to an appropriate state for removal. You must ensure that you can reach the component easily
and handle it safely.
For more information about removing c-Class components from the c-Class enclosure, see the HP
BladeSystem Enclosure Service and Maintenance Guide:

To remove an HP BLc Intel
1. Disconnect and remove each InfiniBand cable until all of the networking ports are unplugged.
When disconnecting the cables, ensure that you do not bend them more than the recommended bend
radius. It might be necessary to loosen the releasable cable ties enough to remove the cable from the
switch. HP recommends that you do not remove the cables from the releasable cable ties on the c-Class
cable management bracket.
2. Remove the cable management bracket, but do not remove the cables from the bracket.
3. Press the switch blade handle release button and slide the switch all the way out of the HP BladeSystem
enclosure.
NOTE: HP provides various cable management solutions. Installation and removal of the HP BLc Intel
QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch might depend on which type of cable management bracket is used to
support the InfiniBand cables used in your configuration. If you are unsure of the process to remove a
switch for service, contact an HP service representative. Also check the HP BladeSystem Technical
Resources website frequently for updates to this guide:
