Install the Sun Blade X3-2B in the Chassis


Caution

Caution - Component damage or personal injury. Blades can weigh up to 22 lbs (10kg). Use two hands to install or remove the blade from the chassis.


  1. If necessary, remove the server module filler panel.

    Pull the lever out and eject the server module filler panel.

    Do not discard the server module filler panel.


    Caution

    Caution - Over-temperature condition. Do not operate the chassis with empty slots. Always insert a server module filler panel into an empty slot within 60 seconds to reduce the possibility of server module shutdown due to overheating.


  2. Position the server module vertically so that the ejectors are on the right.

    The following illustration shows the server module being inserted into the Sun Blade 6000 chassis. Your chassis might differ.

  3. Push the server module into the slot until the server module stops. [1]

    Note - After the server module is inserted into a powered-on chassis, all front panel LEDs blink three times.


  4. Rotate both ejectors in until they snap into place. [2]

    The server module is now flush with the chassis, and the ejectors are locked.

    If the chassis is powered on, the server module comes up to standby power. The green OK LED on the front panel blinks (0.2 seconds on, 2.8 seconds off).
