For additional information, see the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE : Installation and User’s
Guide on the Resource CD.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing the IXM5414E switch module in your SBCE, read the following
information:
• Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified under Appendix H “Notices”
on page 277 and “Handling static-sensitive devices”, and read the safety statements in the SBCE
option publications.
• The green color on components and labels in your SBCE identifies hot-swap or hot-plug
components. You can install or remove hot-swap modules while the SBCE is running. For
complete details about installing or removing a hot-swap or hot-plug component, see the
detailed information in this chapter.
• The blue color on components and labels identifies touch points where you can grip a
component, move a latch, and so on.
• You do not need to turn off the SBCE to install or replace any of the hot-swap modules on the
rear of the SBCE.
System reliability considerations
Attention: To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
• Each of the I/O module bays on the rear of the SBCE has either a module or filler module
installed.
• A removed hot-swap module is replaced with an identical module or filler module within 1
minute of removal.
• Cables for the optional modules are routed according to the illustrations and instructions in this
document.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage,
keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
