Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive option
The server blade supports up to four hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade or the
enclosure unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
1. Remove the hard drive blank.
