There are limitations on the total number of server modules that you can install in a modular system. Refer to the Netra SPARC T5-1B Server Module Product Notes, configuring server module power usage for details.
As soon as you insert the server module in a powered modular system, power is supplied to the server module and the SP generates messages. If you want to see these messages, be ready to connect using one of the methods in Plan Communication With the Server Module During Installation.
A filler panel should remain in this slot until just before you are ready to insert the server module. All slots should remain filled with server modules or filler panels to ensure correct air flow, heat, and electromagnetic interference conditions in the modular system.
Pull down the ejector arm of the filler panel, then pull the panel straight out of the chassis.
![]() | Caution - Be ready to insert the server module within 60 seconds of removing the filler panel. |
When the server module is plugged in, standby power is supplied to the SP. After about 10 seconds, the front panel LEDs blink three times, then the green OK LED blinks for a few minutes. The server module SP generates messages as soon as the server module is connected to a powered modular system. See Front and Rear Panel Components.
