some restrictions, hot-swap blade servers while the BladeCenter unit is running. For complete details about installing or removing a hot-swap component, see the detailed information in this chapter. v The blue color on components and labels identifies touch points where you can grip a component, move a latch, and so on. v You do not need to disconnect the BladeCenter unit from power to install or replace any of the hot-swap modules on the rear of the BladeCenter unit.
Installing and removing modules The procedures for installing or removing a module on the BladeCenter unit are nearly identical for all modules except the blower modules. To install or remove a blower module, see the BladeCenter Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the BladeCenter Documentation CD. To install or remove all other modules, follow the instructions in this section. Each module is keyed so that it can be inserted only in an appropriate bay.
I/O modules For blade server communication with the network, your BladeCenter unit supports from one to four hot-swap I/O modules. Table 2 identifies the type of I/O module you can install in each I/O-module bay. Go to the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ to see the list of supported I/O modules. Your BladeCenter unit supports a minimum of one hot-swap Ethernet switch module or pass-thru module, in I/O-module bay 1 or 2.
Notes: 1. The enumeration of the Ethernet controllers in a blade server is operating-system dependent. You can verify the Ethernet controller designations a blade server uses through your operating system settings. 2. The routing of an Ethernet controller to a particular I/O-module bay depends on the type of blade server. You can verify which Ethernet controller is routed to which I/O-module bay by using the following test: a. Install only one Ethernet switch module or pass-thru module, in I/O-module bay 1.
Each pair of power modules is redundant. If either power module fails, the remaining power module continues to supply power, but there is no redundancy; the failed power module must be replaced as soon as possible. Important: 1. The power modules in a pair must match each other in capacity (wattage, amperage, and so forth). 2. In a pair of power modules, a power module that is not connected to an ac power source creates a non-redundant condition.
Statement 8: CAUTION: Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, contact a service technician. Complete the following steps to install a module: Note: These instructions assume the BladeCenter unit is connected to power. 1.
Removing a module Complete the following steps to remove a power module, management module, or I/O module. See the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the BladeCenter Documentation CD for information about replacing a blower module. Note: These instructions assume the BladeCenter unit is connected to power. Statement 8: CAUTION: Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.
module you are removing before you remove it. (See the documentation that comes with the blade server for instructions for shutting down the blade server operating system and turning off the blade server.) 3. 4. 5. 6. b. If you are removing a management module, you might prefer to stop all management module local and remote sessions before proceeding, to avoid unexpected termination of sessions. Disconnect any cables from the module. For a power module, disconnect the power cord from the module.
Complete the following steps to install an acoustic module option on the BladeCenter unit: 1. Place the acoustic module over the blower modules, aligning the corners of the acoustic module back with the guides on the chassis, and pushing the shaft into the hole between the blower modules. 2. Rotate the acoustic module handle approximately 2 turns clockwise until it tightens the acoustic module firmly into place.
Blade server expansion options Some blade servers contain connectors for options that add capabilities to the blade server. You can add these options before installing the blade server in the BladeCenter unit. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ on the World Wide Web for a list of available options for your IBM blade server. I/O expansion option Some blade servers have connectors for adding an I/O expansion option, such as the IBM HS20 Fibre Channel Expansion Card.
2. Install any options needed, such as disk drives or memory, in the blade server. See the documentation that comes with the blade server for instructions. 3. Select the bay for the blade server. Notes: a. If a blade server has a SCSI storage expansion option installed on it, the blade server and expansion option require two adjacent blade bays. b. If you install a blade server or option in bay 7 through 14, you must install power modules in power bays 3 and 4. 4.
Important: Reinstalling a blade server into a different bay than the one from which it was removed could have unintended consequences. Some configuration information and update options are established according to bay number. You might need to reconfigure the blade server. If this is the initial installation for a blade server in the BladeCenter unit, you need to configure the blade server with the blade server Configuration/Setup Utility program and install the blade server operating system.
5. Place either a filler blade or another blade server in the bay within one minute. The spring-loaded doors will move out of the way as you insert the blade server or filler blade. Completing the installation After you connect the cables to the modules and route the cables (if necessary, see the Rack Installation Instructions for information about routing the cables), start the BladeCenter unit (if it is not already started) and verify that it is working properly, as follows: 1.

Setting up the remote connection To configure and manage the BladeCenter unit and blade servers, you must first set up the remote connection through the external Ethernet port on the management module. Cabling the Ethernet port Complete the following steps to connect the Ethernet cable to the management module: 1. Connect one end of a Category 5 or higher Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the management module. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network. 2.
Web interface (MM Control → Network Interfaces → External Network Interface (eth0)). The default IP address is 192.168.70.125, the default subnet address is 255.255.255.0, and the default host name is MMxxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the burned-in medium access control (MAC) address. The MAC address is on a label on the management module, below the IP reset button. OK LINK TX/RX MAC address IP Notes: 1.
For the IBM Director software to discover the BladeCenter unit, your network must initially provide connectivity from the IBM Director server to the BladeCenter management-module Ethernet port. To establish connectivity, the management module attempts to use DHCP to acquire its initial IP address for the Ethernet port. If the DHCP request fails, the management module uses a static IP address. Therefore, the DHCP server (if used) must be on the management LAN for your BladeCenter unit. Notes: 1.
4. Shut down the blade server, insert a DOS startable diskette into the diskette drive, and then restart the blade server. 5. When the A:\ prompt appears, turn off the blade server using the power-control button. 6. Issue the Wake on LAN command (magic packet) from the remote computer. If the Wake on LAN feature was properly configured and is functioning, the single blade server will wake up.
The BladeCenter management and configuration window opens. Note: The upper left corner of the management and configuration window shows the location and identity of the active management module. Management and configuration program options From the management and configuration program main menu, you can select settings that you want to view or change.
v If you plan to use redundant management modules and want both to use the same IP address, disable DHCP and configure and use the static IP address (the IP configuration information will be transferred to the redundant management module automatically when needed). Otherwise, configure the DHCP setting as you prefer. You need to configure the static IP address only if DHCP is disabled. – IP address - The IP address for the management module.
Using IBM Director The IBM Director program is a system-management product that comes with the BladeCenter unit. Through the remote connection on the management module, you can use the IBM Director software at the IBM Director console to configure the BladeCenter unit, modify the configuration, and set up more advanced features. Notes: 1. Some tasks, such as software distribution, require an in-band connection from the Director server through a campus (public) LAN to a switch module port. 2.
v Drag the wizard task from the right-most pane (under BladeCenter in the task list) to any of the selected BladeCenter units (managed objects). The wizard starts, and guides you through the login and configuration tasks needed. The following illustration shows the main window on the BladeCenter Deployment wizard. Using Remote Deployment Manager Version 4.1 or later You can use the Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.
What to configure You need to configure the switch module IP addresses and subnet mask through the management module Web interface to have switch module communication with the management module and remote management station (IBM Director server and console, for example). This is in addition to the IP addresses configured in the management module.
Note: When failover occurs on a blade server, the secondary Ethernet controller takes over network communication, using the I/O module associated with that controller. v Install a pair of Ethernet switch modules in I/O-module bays 1 and 2. Note: You can install a pass-thru module that is connected to an external Ethernet switch in either or both of these I/O-module bays. v Configure the Ethernet switch modules and your network infrastructure so that they can direct traffic to the same destinations.
