Installation And Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the blade server or enclosure.

Unpacking The System

Unpack your blade server or enclosure and identify each item.

NOTE: This procedure applies only to PowerEdge M420.

A sleeve includes up to four quarter-height blades to function as a system. Depending on your order, the sleeve may ship with the blades preinstalled.

CAUTION: Exercise utmost care when installing or removing the sleeve to prevent damage to the internal components. To ensure protection for the electronic components inside, follow the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) guidelines.

Figure 2. Installing a Sleeve

NOTE: Before you install or remove a sleeve from the enclosure, ensure that the top slot of the sleeve (Blade a) is empty. You can install a blade in the top slot (Blade a) after you install the sleeve in the enclosure.

Remove the orange cover from the sleeve handle. Slide the sleeve into the enclosure and lift the sleeve handle to the top position to secure the sleeve in the enclosure.

NOTE: To ensure optimal thermal performance, do not replace the cover on the sleeve handle after the sleeve is installed in the enclosure. Reinstall the cover only if the sleeve is not installed in the enclosure.

Installing A Quarter-Height Blade In A Sleeve

CAUTION: Install a blade blank in all empty blade slots to maintain proper thermal conditions.

Slide the blade into the sleeve and rotate the blade handle upward to secure the blade in the sleeve.
