Removing and Replacing the Server Blade from the Enclosure

Use the following procedures to remove and replace the server blade from the enclosure.

Removing the Server Blade from the Enclosure

Perform the following steps to remove the server blade from the enclosure:

Step 1. Press the release button (1). Refer to Figure 4-6.

CAUTION After you press the release button, the server blade is unlocked from the enclosure.

Use both hands to support the server blade when you remove it from the rack. The

server blade weighs approximately 9 kg (20 lb.).

NOTE The fans might still be running if the server blade is in standby mode. Opening the

lever removes all power from the server blade.

Step 2. Open the lever (2).

Step 3. Grasp the lever and slide the server blade from the enclosure (3). Place a hand under the server

blade to support it as you remove it from the enclosure.

Step 4. Place the server blade on a flat, level, antistatic surface.

CAUTION Always populate server blade enclosure bays with either a server blade or server

blade blank. Operating the enclosure without a server blade or server blade blank

results in improper airflow and improper cooling, which can lead to thermal damage.
