Removing a PC Blade
To remove a blade, perform the following steps:
1. Lower the front bezel on the chassis by depressing the latches on each side.
2. Power down the blade and pull gently on the handle until it slides out. Be sure to
support both ends of the blade when you remove it completely from the chassis.
Never leave a PC blade unprotected when not in use. It should either be in the chassis
or in its storage box. Dust, dirt, and other debris can cause problems so keep the
boards clean by keeping them installed or in their storage box.
Mass Storage Lockout: Disabling Access to USB Mass
Storage Devices
R-series PC blades offer a unique Mass Storage Lockout (MSL) security feature that
disables the use of USB mass storage devices (such as flash drives, floppy drives,
CD-ROM drives, and so on) on ClearCube C/Ports and PCoIP clients.
Always completely power down a blade using the power button or by
shutting down the OS before removing it from a chassis. Removing a
blade before completely powering down can cause critical hardware
failure, data loss, or both.
Never forcefully remove blades from a chassis. Mishandling blades
can cause critical hardware failure, data loss, or both.
Some surfaces on the blade may be hot, especially when the blade
has been powered on. Remove and handle the blade with care.
