Installing and removing a blade server

The BladeCenter unit supports up to 14 high-performance blade servers. Each
blade server is an enclosure that contains microprocessors, memory, a control chip
set, an I/O bus, Ethernet controllers, hard disk drives, customer interface controls,
and connectors for expansion options. To install a blade server in the BladeCenter
unit, review the blade-server bay locations in the illustration in "Front view" on page
14. To complete installing or removing the blade server, see the documentation that
comes with the blade server. See "Front view" on page 14 for the locations of the
component bays.
Important: Reinstalling a blade server into a different bay from the one from which
it was removed could have unintended consequences. Some configuration
information and update options are established according to the blade-server bay
number. You might have to reconfigure the blade server.
If this is the initial installation of a blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you must
configure the blade server with the blade-server Configuration/Setup Utility program
and install the blade-server operating system. See the documentation that comes
with the blade server for instructions.
