Installation Guidelines - IBM Brocade 4 Gb SAN Switch Module Installation Manual

Installation guidelines

Before you install the switch module in the BladeCenter unit, read the
following information:
v Read the safety information that begins on page v, "Handling static-sensitive
devices" on page 13, and the safety statements in the BladeCenter unit
documentation. This information will help you work safely with the blade
server, BladeCenter unit, and options.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place
removed covers and other parts in a safe place.
v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the
component to remove it from or install it in the blade server or BladeCenter
unit, open or close a latch, and so on.
v Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component on the
switch module, blade server, or BladeCenter unit indicates that the
component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the BladeCenter unit
and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install
the component while the BladeCenter unit is running. (Orange can also
indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for
removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional
procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the
component.
v You do not have to turn off the BladeCenter unit to install or replace any of
the hot-swap modules on the rear of the BladeCenter unit.
v When you are finished working on the blade server or BladeCenter unit,
reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
v For a list of supported options for the BladeCenter unit, see
