For configurations with mid drive tray, if you are removing the memory module permanently, install a memory module blank. The
procedure to install a memory module blank is similar to that of the memory module.
NOTE:
For single processor systems, install processor/DIMM blank on CPU2 socket.
NOTE:
To ensure proper cooling, DIMM blank must be installed for systems with mid drive tray configuration.

CAUTION:
To ensure proper system cooling in configurations with mid drive tray, memory module blanks must be installed in any
memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory module blanks only if you intend to install memory modules in those
sockets.
NOTE:
You must follow the thermal restriction while using DIMM blank. For information about thermal restriction, see the
Thermal restrictions section.
