•
lying on a flat surface).

Installing a server blade

CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server blade before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade enclosure
unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
Remove a 6U server blade blank.
