Removing a power module
Complete the following steps to remove a power module or filler panel from the
front of the BladeCenter T unit.
Attention: To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that
you replace a removed power module or filler panel with a power module within
1 minute.
Important: If you are removing a functional power module, make sure that both
the ac-power LED and the dc-power LED on the remaining power module are lit;
otherwise, shut down the operating systems and turn off all of the blade servers
that are supported by the power module you are removing, before you remove it.
(See the documentation that comes with the blade server for instructions for
shutting down the blade server operating system and turning off the blade server.)
