hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Installing and Removing Blades There are two types of blades used in the rp3710 Blade Server: • Blades that are held in place on the chassis by locking levers. This type of blade has a blue LED that lights to indicate when it is shut down and ready to be removed. • Carrier blades that can contain up to two components, such as Fibre Channel disks.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Removing and Installing Slot Blockers Figure 5-16 Slot Blocker Captive Screws Slot blockers are installed in those empty slots in which there are no blades to maintain airflow integrity in the blade server chassis. Their installation is required to keep the resident blades cool during operation.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Installing and Removing Blades With Locking Levers Procedures for the installation and Removal of server blades with Locking Levers are listed and illustrated below. Installing Blades With Locking Levers Install the server blade according to the following steps: Step 1. Grasp the two locking levers and lift the blade from its antistatic surface. Step 2.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades NOTE Figure 5-18 The blue LED will briefly illuminated when power is reestablished as the blade mates with the backplane connectors. Insert the Blade Step 6. Tighten the small screws in each locking lever (as shown in Figure 5-19). This completes the installation.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Removing Blades With Locking Levers Removing Server Blades with locking levers can be accomplished in either of two ways: • Entering the /etc/shutdown -h command at the console to bring the blade to an orderly halt prior to pushing the red tabs toward the latches is the recommended way to shut down the blade. • Blades with locking levers are hot swappable and can be removed without an orderly shut down.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Figure 5-21 Loosen Locking Screws Step 3. To release the blade from the backplane, apply pressure to the left locking lever and to the right locking lever at the same time. You should be able to “snap” the levers away from each other and unlatch the blade from the left and right edges of the blade slot. Figure 5-22 illustrates this step.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Step 4. Still grasping the locking levers, firmly pull the blade from the chassis (Figure 5-23). The blade connectors fit snugly in the backplane and it may take additional effort to disengage the blade from the backplane. Figure 5-23 Pull Blade From Chassis Step 5. Extract the blade completely from the chassis and carefully place it on an antistatic-protected area. This concludes blade removal.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Installing and Removing Carrier Blades Procedures to be used for the installation and removal of Carrier Blades are listed below. CAUTION You must complete removal/installation steps within 3 minutes, or install slot blockers, to comply with cooling requirements. Failure to satisfy this requirement may cause loss of data when the remaining blades begin to power down.
hp Carrier Grade Server bh3710 Server Blade Installation Information Installing and Removing Blades Removing the Carrier Blade CAUTION Fibre Channel disks have no hot swap LED to indicate when they can be removed. Remove the disk carrier only under the following conditions: • The bp2200 hot swap blue light is illuminated, indicating that the bp2200 is no longer accessing the Fibre Channel disks, or • the disk has been unmounted at the OS level.
