Figure 2-40: Removing a server blade blank
CAUTION: Always populate server blade enclosure bays with either a server blade or server
blade blank. Operating the server blade enclosure without a server blade or server blade
blank results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
To replace a server blade blank, align the blank with the empty bay and slide it in until the
blank is fully seated.
