2 Removal and Replacement Procedures This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement procedures for system components. After completing all necessary removal and replacement procedures, verify that all components operate properly by running the appropriate diagnostic software: • For server blade components, run the Server Diagnostics utility, available from the HP website (http://www.hp.com).
WARNING! Always use at least two people to lift a power supply enclosure or server blade enclosure into the rack. If the enclosure is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person MUST assist with aligning the enclosure with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the enclosure. WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling jacks of the rack are extended to the floor.
WARNING! Be sure that power is not applied to the Mini Bus Bar Dual Power Box power cables before connecting to or disconnecting from the power supply. Disconnect all AC power cords from the power source. WARNING! Be sure that all power enclosure circuit breakers are locked in the off position before connecting or disconnecting any power components.
a. Remove power from the facility power connection. b. Disconnect the PDU jumper cords from the power enclosure. 4. If the server blade enclosure is powered from a 3U power enclosure, remove power from the bus bar or power bus box couplers (both A and B) connected to the server blade enclosure: a. Unlock the circuit breakers switches (1). b. Set the switches to the off position (2). c. Lock the switches in the off position (3).
Figure 2-3 Removing a server blade blank 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 that can lead to thermal damage. To replace a server blade blank, align the blank with the empty bay and slide it in until the blank is fully seated.
