v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit 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 directly into the system unit
without setting the device down. If it is necessary to set down the device, place it
back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the system
unit or on a metal surface.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
This
chapter provides instructions for installing and removing modules, options, and
blade servers in the BladeCenter T unit.
Each module is keyed so that it can be inserted only in an appropriate bay. For
example, you can insert an I/O module only in an I/O-module bay.
This section describes the following BladeCenter T modules and how to install and
remove them:
v Bezel assembly
v Bezel air filter
v Power module
v Media tray
v Management module
v Blower module
v KVM module
v LAN module
v I/O modules
v Blade server
See
the “Rear view” on page 15 and “Front view” on page 9 for the location of each
module. These modules supply common functions to the blade servers that are
installed in the blade bays at the front of the BladeCenter T unit.
The KVM module and media tray supply I/O (CD-ROM drive, USB ports, keyboard,
video, and mouse) that is available to all the blade servers that support those I/O
functions, selected by any one blade server at a time.
Attention: To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability,
make sure that each of the module bays on the front and rear of the BladeCenter T
unit has a module or filler module installed. When replacing components, do not
operate the BladeCenter T unit for more than the following time limits:
v 1 minute without either a module or a filler module installed in each module bay
v 20 minutes without a server blade or blade filler
