Hot-plug components

To achieve optimum cooling of the system unit, observe the following sequence when filling the server blade slots:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 17 - 9 -10 - 11 - 12 - 18 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16. All empty server blade slots must be fitted with dummy modules.

IThe maximum number of installable server blades depends on the number of power supply units and fan modules fitted in the system unit, the available mains voltage and the redundant power supply requirements, see "Fitting rules for power supply units and fan modules" on page 127.

Different models and configurations of server blades can be combined in the system unit.

Installing a server blade

VCAUTION!

Make sure you observe the safety notes and the information on handling electrostatic-sensitive devices in the section "Modules with Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices" on page 34.

Beware of the energy hazard at the midplane contacts. A short circuit on these contacts may damage the system.

The server blade boots automatically after installation in the system unit.

When you install a server blade in an active system unit, the server blade automatically performs a Power-On Self-Test (POST) and then switches itself off.

If the system unit is switched off when you install the server blade, the automatic POST is performed immediately after you switch on the system unit.

Any unused server blade slots must be fitted with dummy modules to comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations and to ensure sufficient cooling of the system components.
