Removing a SAS Hard Disk Drive

To remove a SAS hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information beginning on
Information"
2. Shutdown the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server
from the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. See
an Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE" on page 17
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see
instructions).
5. Locate SAS connector 0 (J95) or SAS connector 1 (J94). Slowly pull the blue lever at
the back of the hard disk drive tray away from the hard disk drive to disengage the
drive from its tray.
6. From the rear edge of the drive, slide the drive out of the SAS connector.

Installing Memory Modules

The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the
blade server supports and other information that you must consider when installing
DIMMs:
•
The system board contains four DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory
interleaving.
•
The DIMM options that are available for the blade server are 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB,
2 GB and 4 GB. Depending on the memory configuration set in blade server BIOS,
the blade server can support a minimum of 512 MB and a maximum of 16 GB of
system memory.
•
Install the DIMMs in the following order:
First
Second
•
When you install memory, you must install a pair of matched DIMMs.
•
Both DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, speed, type, technology, and physical
design. You can mix compatible DIMMs from different manufacturers.
•
The second pair does not have to be DIMMs of the same size, speed, type, technology,
and physical design as the first pair.
•
Install only 1.8 V, 240-pin, DDR2, PC3200, registered SDRAM with ECC DIMMs
that are compatible with the latest PC3200 SDRAM Registered DIMM specification.
•
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information for the blade
server. After installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save the new
