Opening The Blade Server Cover - Intel SBX44 - Server Compute Blade Installation And User Manual

Attention:
• To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the system chassis for more than one minute
without either a blade or a filler blade installed in each blade bay.
• Note the bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a different bay than the one from which it
was removed could have unintended consequences. Some configuration information and update
options are established according to bay number; if you reinstall the blade server into a different
bay, you might need to reconfigure the blade server.
Complete the following steps to remove the blade server:
1. Press the power-control button (behind the blade server control panel door) to shut down the
operating system and turn off the blade server. Wait at least 30 seconds, until the drives stop
spinning, before proceeding to the next step. See "Blade server controls and LEDs" on page 14
for more information about the location of the power-control button.
2. Open the two release levers as shown in the illustration. The blade server moves out of the bay
approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
3. Press the green lever release button. Extend the two levers and pull the blade server out of the
bay. Spring-loaded doors further back in the bay move into place to cover the bay temporarily.
4. Place either a filler blade or another blade in the bay within one minute. The recessed spring-
loaded doors will move out of the way as you insert the blade or filler blade.
