Installing a Server Blade

CAUTION: Always populate the server blade enclosure bays with either a server
blade or server blade blank. Proper airflow can only be maintained when the bays
are populated. Unpopulated bays can lead to improper cooling and thermal damage.
To install a server blade:
1. Remove the server blade blank:
a. Press the release buttons (1).
b. Slide the server blade blank out of the bay (2).

NOTE: Store the server blade blank for future use.
2. Align the keyed end of the server blade with the guide at the end of a bay on the
server blade enclosure.
IMPORTANT: The server blade is keyed to fit only one way in the bay. If the server blade
does not slide easily into the bay, be sure that the server blade is oriented properly.
