Installing a Blade Server
For installations of UCS blades with differing widths and heights in a chassis, the guideline is to load the
heaviest and largest blades at the bottom of the chassis. Therefore, if a UCS B460 blade server is present, it
should be installed at the bottom, followed by full-width blades such as the UCS B420 or UCS B480 above
the UCS B460, and then half-width blades such as the UCS B200 at the top of the chassis.
Before you begin
The blade server must have its cover installed before installing it into the chassis to ensure adequate airflow.
Procedure
Step 1 If necessary, remove the slot divider from the chassis.
a) Simultaneously pull up on the left side catch and push down on the right side catch as shown in callout 1
of the following figure.
b) Pull the slot divider out of the chassis as shown in callout 2 of the following figure. Keep the slot divider
in case it is needed at another time.
