Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive Se n d d o c u m e n t c o m m e n t s t o u c s - d o c f e e d b a ck @ c i s c o . c o m Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive There are up to 2 front-accessible, hot-swappable, 2.5-inch drives per blade. An LSI 2002 RAID controller is embedded in the motherboard (a Cisco exclusive and not separately replaceable) and it supports RAID 0 and 1. You can remove blade server hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis.

Each set of six DIMM slots is arranged into three channels, where each channel has 2 DIMMs (see Figure 16). Each channel is identified by a letter—B, C, D for CPU1, and F, G, H for CPU 2. Each DIMM slot is identified by a number, either 0 or 1. Note that each DIMM slot 0 is blue, while each slot 1 is black.
