Partner blade troubleshooting

Partner blades are installed in a device bay. The partner blades are either connected to a server blade or
interconnect module in the same enclosure. Partner blades cannot be powered down individually. This
section describes the unique troubleshooting characteristics of those partner blades.

For proper installation and support, most
partner blades require a partner server
blade to be installed and powered off
during partner blade installation. If the
partner blade is installed while the
partner server blade is powered up, then
power down the partner server blade
before powering up the partner blade.
Partner blades for interconnect modules
