Opening the blade server cover

Complete the following steps to remove the blade server:

1.If the blade server is operating, shut down the operating system; then, press the power-control button (behind the blade server control panel door) to turn off the blade server. See “Controls and LEDs” on page 8 for more information about the location of the power-control button.

Attention: Wait at least 30 seconds, until the drives stop spinning, before proceeding to the next step.

2.Open the two release levers as shown in the illustration. The blade server moves out of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).

Note: You must remove the bezel assembly from the BladeCenter T unit before you can access the blade server. Firmly grip the blue touch points (at the top-left and top-right sides of the bezel) and forcefully pull forward, lifting the bezel up and away from the BladeCenter T unit. Carefully set the bezel assembly aside in a safe place.

3.Pull the blade server out of the bay. Spring-loaded doors further back in the bay move into place to cover the bay temporarily.

4.Place either a filler blade or another blade server in the bay within 1 minute for the BladeCenter unit and 20 minutes for the BladeCenter T unit. The recessed spring-loaded doors will move out of the way as you insert the blade server or filler blade.
