To maintain system thermals, fixed hard drive bays must be populated in the slots in this order:
1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6.
To maintain system thermals, hot-swap hard drive bays must be populated with either a hard
drive or a drive blank.
System fans are not hot swappable.
If required, the CPU air duct(s) must be used to maintain system thermals. A CPU air duct is not
required on the Intel

operation of the product.
Make sure the latest system software is loaded on the server. This includes system BIOS,
FRU/SDR, BMC firmware, and hot-swap controller firmware. The latest system software can be
