Removing components
Before you install the BladeCenter S chassis in a rack, remove components to
reduce the weight of the unit so that it can safely be installed in the rack.
The weight of a fully populated BladeCenter S system is approximately 108.86 kg
(240 lb). Attempting to lift this much weight can cause personal injury. Therefore,
you should remove modules and blade servers from the BladeCenter S chassis
before you attempt to install the unit in a rack. An empty BladeCenter S chassis
(all modules and blade servers removed) is approximately 40.82 kg (90 lb).
Statement 32
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury, before lifting the unit, remove all the blades, power
supplies, and removable modules to reduce the weight.
1. Remove components from the front of the BladeCenter S chassis.
a. Read "Safety" on page v and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page
26.
b. Remove all blade servers.
Important: Typically, you should record the bay location of the blade server
when you remove it so that you can reinstall it back in the same bay.
However, when you initially receive the BladeCenter S system, the
configuration that you choose for the zoning of the SAS connectivity
modules, if SAS connectivity modules are installed in the BladeCenter S
chassis, dictates the correct location of the blade servers.
