WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
NOTE: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

The embedded Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller only supports SATA devices. For SAS drive
installation, install a Host Bus Adapter or a Smart Array Controller.
To accurately estimate the power consumption of the server and select the appropriate power configuration
