Removing and installing a blade server or filler module
Use the instructions in this section to remove or install a blade server at the front of
the BladeCenter T unit.
Important: Reinstalling a blade server into a different bay than the one from which
it was removed could have unintended consequences. Some configuration
information and update options are established according to bay number. You might
need to reconfigure the blade server.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter T
unit for more than 20 minutes without either a blade server or a filler blade installed
in each blade bay. If you fail to replace a blade server or filler blade within 20
minutes, system performance might be affected.
