Installing and Removing a Blade Server

There are two types of blade server supported, half-width and full-width. Their installation is similar but with
important differences. For details, see the Blade Server Installation and Service Note for the type of blade
server you are using. The server notes are available at the following URL:

Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive

You can remove blade server hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis. All other
component replacement for a blade server requires removing the blade from the chassis. Unused hard drive
bays should always be covered with cover plates (N20-BBLKD) to assure proper cooling and ventilation. The
chassis is omitted from illustrations here to simplify the drawing.
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by the
carrier edges only.
