Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power
source. Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade server.
To install a BladeCenter HX5 blade server, complete the following steps.
1. Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on
page 23.
2. Select the blade server bay for the blade server; at least one blade server bay is
required.
Notes:
a. For BladeCenter chassis that support up to 14 blade servers, when any
blade server or device is in blade server bay 7 through 14, power modules
must be installed in all four power-module bays. For additional
information, see the Installation and User's Guide for your chassis.
b. If you are reinstalling a blade server that you removed, you must install it
in the same blade server bay from which you removed it. Some blade
server configuration information and update options are established
according to blade server bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a
different blade server bay from the one it was removed from can have
unintended consequences. If you reinstall the blade server into a different
bay, you might need to reconfigure the blade server.
c. To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter chassis
without a blade server, expansion unit, or filler module installed in each
blade server bay.
3. Make sure that the release handles on the blade server are in the open position
(perpendicular to the blade server).
4. Slide the blade server into the blade server bay until it stops.
5. Push the release handles on the front of the blade server to the closed position.
Note: After the blade server is installed, the IMM in the blade server initializes
and synchronizes with the advanced management module. This process takes
approximately 90 seconds to complete. The power LED flashes rapidly, and the
power-control button on the blade server does not respond until this process is
complete.
6. Turn on the blade server (see "Turning on the blade server" on page 15 for
instructions).
7. Make sure that the power LED on the blade server control panel is lit
continuously, indicating that the blade server is receiving power and is turned
on.
8. If you have other blade servers to install, do so now.
9. Optional: Write identifying information about one of the labels that come with
the blade servers and place the label on the BladeCenter chassis bezel. See the
documentation for your BladeCenter chassis for information about the label
placement.
