Install Your Server Module

Before You Begin

Perform all steps and fulfill all requirements in Preparing to Install the Server Module.

1. Locate an available blade slot in the chassis, and remove the slot filler panel.

   Pinch together the ends of the ejector arm handle to unlock it, rotate the lever out to the open position, and eject the filler panel.

   Keep the filler panel for later use.

2. Remove the rear cover from the blade midplane connector.

   See Rear Panel Features for the location of the rear cover.

   Caution - Drop hazard - Server modules can weigh up to 22 lbs (10 kg). Use two hands to install or remove the server module from the chassis.

3. Open both of the server module ejector levers and position the server module vertically so that the ejectors are on the right.
4. Install the server as follows:
   1. Push the server module into the slot until the server module stops and is flush with the chassis (see 1).
   2. Lock the server module into the chassis. Rotate the top ejector down while rotating the bottom ejector up until they both latch into place (see 2).

      The server module is now locked in the chassis.

   
   
5. Verify that the server module LEDs illuminate properly.

   After you install a server module into a powered-on chassis, the server module SP automatically boots using standby power from the chassis power supplies. The server module front panel indicators illuminate as follows:

   • After you plug in the server module, all four server module LEDs blink three times. This indicates that the blade has been powered on and the SP boot process has begun.

   • The green OK/Power LED blinks rapidly. This indicates that the SP is booting (0.125 seconds on, 0.125 seconds off).

   • After the SP completes its boot cycle, the green OK/Power LED blinks briefly once every 3 seconds indicating that the server module is in standby power mode.

   Tip - For front panel LED information, see Server Module Front Panel and Indicators. For additional information about server module indicators, server module removal, power procedures, and front panel cable connections, refer to the Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Service Manual.
