Setting up the BladeCenter T unit

Statement 20:

CAUTION:

To avoid personal injury, before lifting the unit, remove all the blades to

reduce the weight.

Statement 4:

≥ 18 kg (39.7 lb) ≥ 32 kg (70.5 lb) ≥ 55 kg (121.2 lb)

CAUTION:

Use safe practices when lifting.

Install the BladeCenter T unit in a rack before installing any blade servers in the

BladeCenter T unit. If your BladeCenter unit has blade servers already installed,

remove them first. Detailed instructions for installing and cabling a BladeCenter T

unit in a rack are in the Rack Installation Instructions that come with the

BladeCenter T unit.

Installation guidelines

This section includes guidelines for:

v Preparing and making ac or dc power connections before installing the

BladeCenter T modules, options, and blade servers.

v System reliability considerations.
