Installing Blade Modules
Up to ten SBA-7142G-T4 blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure
(depending upon your enclosure and blade). Blade modules with Windows and Linux
operating systems may be mixed together in the same blade enclosure.
Powering Up a Blade Unit
Each blade unit may be powered on and off independently from the rest of the blades
installed in the same enclosure. A blade unit may be powered up in two ways:
•
Press the power button on the blade unit.
•
Use IPMIView or the web-browser based management utility to apply power using
either a CMM module, or by the use of the onboard BMC chip in the blade module.
Powering Down a Blade Unit
A blade unit may be powered down in either of five ways:
•
Press the power button on the blade unit.
•
Use IPMIView or the web-browser based management utility to power down (if you
have Operator or Admin privileges on the CMM).
•
Use SMCIPMItool when connected to the CMM to power down (if you have
Operator or Admin privileges on the CMM).
•
Use IPMIview or a browser connected to the onboard BMC chip to power down.
•
Use SMCIPMItool
to use a Command Line Interface (CLI) to the onboard BMC
chip, if you have Operator or Admin privileges.
Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure
Although the blade system may continue to run, individual blades should always be
powered down before removing them from the enclosure.
Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure
1.
Power down the blade unit (see
"Powering Down a Blade Unit"
above).
2.
Squeeze both handles to depress the red sections then pull out both handles
completely and use them to pull the blade unit from the enclosure.
