Removing CPU blades

Use the following procedure to remove a CPU blade.

* Some CPU blades may require operations or steps that are different from those shown here. This

depends on the type of CPU blade. In such cases, follow the instructions given in the respective CPU

blade user’s guide or operating manual.

1. Shutdown the target CPU blade and turn off the power.

2. Loosen the screw fixing the CPU blade, open the ejector to unlock the CPU blade.

3. Open the ejector and remove the CPU blade

from the Blade Enclosure.

To use the enclosure with the CPU blade removed,

install a CPU blade slot cover in the vacant slot.

If the removed CPU blade is a full-height type,

a full-height CPU blade slot cover may be required

to install in the vacant slot.

For more information, see “Caution on Installing

full-height, single-width CPU blades” on page 56.

For more information on full-height CPU blade

slot covers, see “Assembling and disassembling

a full-height CPU blade slot cover” on page 64.

The procedure is now complete.
