Install the Server Module Into the Chassis
The Sun Blade 8000 Series Chassis supports up to 10 Sun Blade server modules.
The chassis arrives with nine filler panels installed in each server module slot
labeled BL1-9.

Figure Legend
1. Vacant server module slot labeled BL0
2. Nine server module filler panels in slots labeled BL1 to BL9

Caution – If you are not installing a server module into a slot, do not remove the
server module filler panel from the slot. The server module filler panel is required to
meet FCC standards for EMI.

Use the following procedures to remove a filler panel from a slot and to install a
server module into the corresponding vacant slot.

Caution – The following procedure is for new installations in a powered-off chassis.
If you want to install or remove a server module using a hot-plug operation, see the
Service and Upgrades topics in the Sun Blade 8000 Series Online Information System at:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19045-01/blade.8000mod/819-5846-15/

▼ Remove Server Module Filler Panel
1. In the front of the chassis, locate the server module filler panel to be removed.

2. To unlatch the server module filler panel from the chassis, press the button on
the ejector lever handles at the top and bottom; then pivot out and raise the top
ejector lever and lower the bottom ejector lever.

3. Hold the ejector levers and pull the filler panel out of the chassis slot.

▼ Install Server Module Into Chassis Slot
1. Unpack the server module (box labeled Sun Blade), then locate the vacant
server module slot in the front of the chassis.

Caution – Do not use the ejector levers to carry the server module. The ejector
levers should only be used to seat the server module in the chassis. The levers are
not designed to support the weight of the server module.

2. Align the server module with the vacant server module slot. Ensure that the:
■ Server module indicator lights on the front panel are facing toward you.
■ Video, keyboard, and mouse connectors are at the bottom.
■ Server module ejector levers are fully opened.

3. Slide the server module into the vacant server module chassis slot.
As the ejectors make contact with the chassis, the bottom lever will start to rise,
and the top lever will start to lower.

4. Simultaneously close the ejector levers at the top and bottom of the server
module (lower the top ejector and raise the bottom ejector) until the levers lock
in place against the front of the server module.
