b. Open the lever (2).

server blade enclosure
d. Place the server blade on a flat, level surface.
CAUTION: Always populate server blade enclosure bays with either a server blade or server
blade blank. Operating the enclosure without a server blade or server blade blank results in
improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Reverse steps 1 through 3 to install and power up a server blade. Server blades are set to
power up automatically upon insertion. If you have changed this setting, use the Power
On/Standby button or iLO Virtual Power Button feature to power up the server blade.
For more information about iLO, refer to the Integrated Lights-Out User Guide.
