Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit
Use these instructions to remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit.
The following illustration shows how to remove a single-width type of blade server or blade filler from a
BladeCenter unit. The appearance of your BladeCenter unit might be different; see the documentation for
your BladeCenter unit for additional information.
Attention:
• To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a blade server, expansion
unit, or filler module installed in each blade server bay.
• When you remove the blade server, note the blade-server bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a
different blade server bay from the one it was removed from can have unintended consequences. Some
configuration information and update options are established according to blade-server bay number; if
you reinstall the blade server into a different bay, you might have to reconfigure the blade server.
To remove the blade server, complete the following steps:
Step 1. If the blade server is operating, shut down the operating system (see the documentation for your
operating system for more information).
Step 2. If the server is still on, press the power-control button for four seconds to turn off the blade server
(see “Turning off the blade server” on page 7 for more information).
Attention:
Wait at least 30 seconds, until the storage devices stops spinning, before you proceed
to the next step.
Step 3. Open the two release handles as shown in the illustration. The blade server moves out of the blade
server bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
Step 4. Pull the blade server out of the bay.
Step 5. Place either a blade filler or another blade server in the blade server bay within 1 minute.
