Removing components
Before you install the BladeCenter S chassis in a rack, remove components to reduce the weight of the unit so that it can safely be installed in the rack.
The weight of a fully populated BladeCenter S system is approximately 108.86 kg (240 lb). Attempting to lift this much weight can cause personal injury. Therefore, you should remove modules and blade servers from the BladeCenter S chassis before you attempt to install the unit in a rack. An empty BladeCenter S chassis (all modules and blade servers removed) is approximately 40.82 kg (90 lb).![](d3mm9sym.jpg)
