Removing a management module
Notes:
1. If you are removing the only management module in the BladeCenter T unit, to
avoid unexpected termination of sessions, stop all management-module local
and remote sessions before proceeding.
2. If you are removing the only management module in the BladeCenter T unit, be
aware that as soon as you remove the module, the BladeCenter T blowers will
increase to full speed.
3. If you are replacing the only management module in the BladeCenter T unit and
the management module is functional, save the configuration file to another
medium before you proceed (in the MM Control section in the navigation pane,
click Configuration File and follow the instructions under Save MM
Configuration); you will be able to restore the saved configuration file to the
replacement management module.
4. If you have just installed a second management module in the BladeCenter T
unit, do not remove the first (primary) management module for approximately 2
minutes; the second (secondary) management module needs the time to
receive initial status information.
Complete the following steps to remove a management module or filler module from
the front of the BladeCenter T unit:
1. Press the blue release button at the front of the management module.
2. Pull the release latch all the way toward the left side of the management
module until it stops, as shown in the illustration. The module moves slightly out
of the bay.
3. Grip the management module with one hand and slowly pull the management
module out of the bay. Use your other hand to support the bottom of the
management module as you pull it out from the bay.
Important: Within 1 minute, you must place either another module of the same
type or a filler module in the bay.
