Before removing or installing switch blades or the corresponding dummy
modules, the rear fan module must be removed (see section “Replacing
the Rear Fan Module” on page 129).
Removing the Dummy Module
All unoccupied slots in the Blade Server System are fitted with dummy modules
to ensure that the electromagnetic emission properties of the system are
observed and that the system components are properly cooled.
If you wish to install a switch blade, you must first remove the dummy module
from the corresponding slot.
