v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the BladeCenter unit or rack for at least 2 seconds. This drains
static electricity from the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it immediately without setting
down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its
static-protective package.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Installing and removing modules
The procedures for installing or removing a module on the BladeCenter unit are
nearly identical for all modules except the blower modules. To install or remove a
blower module, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
for instructions.
Each module is keyed so that it can be inserted only in an applicable bay. You can
insert an I/O module only in an I/O-module bay.
Installing a module
The following illustration shows how to install a typical BladeCenter unit module,
such as an I/O module, power module, or management module, in the rear of the
BladeCenter unit.
For detailed instructions for installing and, if necessary, configuring a module for
use in the BladeCenter unit, read the documentation that comes with the module.
Notes:
1. If an I/O expansion option is installed in any blade server, I/O modules that are
compatible with that device must be installed in I/O-module bays 3 and 4 in the
BladeCenter unit.
